County Dodging Between Rock And A Hard Place
Franklin County commissioners treaded carefully to avoid a clash with small towns over a 1929 statute requiring annual and quarterly payments of 250 dollars per mile to maintain linking streets through communities. The panel weighs renewing this policy while considering a substitute that would pay the amount to cities instead, a move critics call a sop for past poor maintenance of county links. A meeting with affected towns is set for April 15 in the Courts Building basement to discuss the proposal, amid potential backlash from officials and residents.
