Speed bumps cost debate fuels Taos County dispute
Neal Thielke of Taos County accuses commissioners of turning speed bumps into political favors. Public Works says 18 bumps on seven roads cost 300 to 3,000 dollars per unit depending on method, with Upper Ranchitos Road approved and West Rim Road not yet. He says rising costs threaten county services and threatens to contract out road work and deduct from assessments, prompting protests and potential credit adjustments for non served residents.
