Road Work Pay Rates Draw Farmer Complaints
Grant Township and Leavenworth County residents complain that road work pay is too low. Overseers face 50 cent hourly limits for team work and 30 to 40 cent hourly rates for hand labor, with draggers paid 80 cents per mile, forcing laborers to drive long distances for minimal pay. Community issues center on Lawrence area roads and unmet standards.
