As one who has been waiting for the improvement that State Rep. Jack Franks got $500,000 for at the intersection of Route 176 and Walkup Avenue and that House Minority Leader promised another $500,000 on behalf of his 2000 GOP Franks’ challenge Dr. Tom Salvi, it surprises me not a bit that road projects take a long time.
But, maybe that’s because I know too much about the process. Most voters won’t have that problem.
