Wildey Opposes Paved Roads In Debate On County Surfaces
In a local column Wildey argues for tiled and drained rural roads over hard surfaced options. He says drainage fixes via tile along roads outperform gravel or concrete, questions federal aid bias, and warns against privileging county seats over small towns while urging road plans to connect producers to markets rather than funnel auto tourism. He envisions countywide, hub-centered development from Emmetsburg and surrounding towns.
