NEOSHO, Mo. —
As a Newton County resident, I want to give a hearty “thank you” to the county administration and workers for the wonders performed this spring and summer on our county roads.
Last winter’s weather did so much damage to so many secondary blacktop roads I expected an endless misery of dodging potholes, breaking vehicle springs and jarring eye teeth loose.
Instead it seemed almost overnight county trucks were everywhere: patching, filling, even paving long stretches when necessary. I can’t imagine where the money came from or how the workers found time for this huge and unexpected work load, but I, for one, appreciate how our friends and public servants have accomplished so much.
