West Virginia County Declares State of Emergency Over Roads
A West Virginia county has declared a state of emergency over "deplorable" road conditions.
The Dominion Post cites a release from the Preston County Commission that says Thursday's proclamation asks the state to address several roads that "pose a danger for motorists, commercial traffic and first responders."
The release says the problems cannot be addressed by local resources and cannot simply be patched.
Commission President Craig Jennings says they're not "backing down" until the roads are fixed.

Don't know if that's the case in Preston County but it is in many others.

Therefore, we all need to send them a check of support filled out in the amount of "thoughts and prayers".

will surely fix their roads and cure the drug epidemic. If only they would investigate.....
Welcome to the world of your own making, West Virginia. Maybe you can merge with Kansas. Or, wait a year or two 'cause we're headed down the same path in KY.
(no bitterness here, LOL)....... .........
What do they want - some dam socialist to fix their roads for em?
I mean - shouldn't they pull themselves up by their bootstraps, let the "free market" sort it all out?
