Lincoln County has a serious problem with the number ofbridges that need to be repaired or replaced. How do you plan tocorrect this problem, and how do you plan to pay for it in thesetight federal, state and local budget times?

Charles Davis: I realize that bridges are aserious problem in our county. If bridges are fixed correctly thefirst time you see a problem, it would save the taxpayers money inthe long run.

W.D. “Doug” Moak: I would encourage statelegislators to continue to fund the local system bridge program.There should also be a condition of the program for active countiesto access inactive counties’ funds. I would also program bridges onfederal routes as much as possible. If federal officials would givecounties a larger allocation of surface transportation funds, thenthe county would have more funds available.
