The costs of maintaining of these roadways have to be paid somehow.I'd rather pay higher fuel taxes instead of paying more to fix issues with my vehicle's tires,or suspension system.The latter hidden cost would be minimized if the county's highways division is able to continue their aggressive roadway resurfacing program. I strongly believe the county council needs to give Mr. • Neil Azevedo's paving crews all the support they need to continue their much appreciated paving work.
