    Are you Serious. $163 thousand dollars. How many school rooms could have been built or repairs made to the shoddy roads and bridges in this state.
    Maybe if your car does not fall in a hole in the road would be more important than “Having a little bit better view” of the state line.

    It’s been so dry I’m surprised any of it is still alive. Maybe we’ll finally get some rain to water it in.

    Ricky, (Not defending -just stating facts) Just Like your property, if I kill your trees I would be liable don’t you think the farmer would be also because that is State Land?… 3rd generation farmer here – Not this farmers first Rodeo!

    you spend thousands of dollars on a project, but do you think it thru. nice, sure. what happens when the farmer next to it sprays round up or other herbicides on his crop? no trees , no flowers. thousands of tax payer money down the drain., and we wonder why the government has money problems.
