Dear editor,
All too often I hear disparaging comments about those who work in the public sector whose tasks are to make our day-to-day lives better. One remark, in my rural area, I hear too often is that county roads are not kept in good condition.
My experiences don’t support those complaints. I don’t know whose road-maintaining responsibilities include south of Humboldt, particularly southeast of town where I spend much of my time, but I want to commend them for their efforts in keeping the roads smooth and easy to travel.
I know the lack of rain has had an impact on roads. Little to no rain has made it a harder to fashion a fine driving surface. However, operators have coped well here and likely elsewhere.
Thanks from a frequent user of county roads,
Bob Johnson
Humboldt, Kan.
