We are wondering what the RC road maintenance policy really is? We can't help but notice that most of the county roads have not been touched recently despite blizzards and snowstorms. Gravel or tar, the roads are getting very tough with little or no snow removal.....except that done by local farmers who were forced to move snow in order to get out. We have not seen a snowplow on our county road for well over a week now, almost 2.
No notices have been published nor signs put up stating policy changes that we are aware of. We would think the current upheaval in that department should not affect the roads and the responsibilities RC has committed to the county residents.
In fact, the roads have only been cleared a few times this winter season so far; so the argument of "lack of funds" shouldn't apply.
It is getting rather embarrassing when people from other areas mention the poor shape our RC roads are in.
The city of Sisseton has done an excellent job with snow removal this winter so far and is to be commended for keeping up with what winter has dealt us.
Perhaps they could give the RC Road Dept some advice?

Control To The End....and beyond?
It seems our outgoing CC's are going to hang on to those reins of authority just as long as possible. Perhaps even longer.
The 2 newly elected Commissioners have been denied involvement in the hiring of the new RC Highway Superintendent position
(and we won't even go into that mess). The latest CC report would have you thinking there was actually an interview process for this position, when in fact, the new Super has already been picked by the Old Guard Boys. Hopefully he will do a good job in that capacity, even if he is related to one of our current CCs.
It would seem to me the new CCs are the ones who will be working with the new Super and should be involved in that decision. In any event, we are relieved (and ever hopeful) that this might be the last decision made by those outvoted commish's and RC will begin to heal from the oppression we have been under for too long.
