Show Us The Money!


 Pothole, College Street (cue the Jaws theme)


So for those of you who have had to replace a tire or needed a front end alignment after hitting a stealth pothole take note:  The State is holding a Public Hearing tonight (who the Hell knew?) at the Bangs Community Center at 6:00 PM to take comment about the outgoing Governor releasing an extra $100 million in Chapter 90 road funds, up from the current $200 million scheduled to be released.

This would make a $382,000 difference on the plus side to Amherst, going from the scheduled $818,000 all the way up to $1,200.000.

So make sure you make the meeting!  Maybe we can get the Select Board to spring for coffee and donuts (or pizza and beer).

    Maybe Guilford can spring for the pizza and beer with his 15k raise!

    Looks to me like there is a boulder in there -- that the roadbed wasn't properly prepared and that rock is your problem...

    The bad roads of Amherst can be looked at as a public service. You can always tell when you cross the boarder from another town into Amherst.

    Once again, Amherst is taking more from the state.
