     I moved to Inverness five and a half years ago to escape Bessemer politics. I knew I was doing the right thing and was making a better life for myself. I never would have guessed how much better things could be until I got here. I have the best kept roads in the world! No joke! Where else in the world do they resurface the same street every two years? NO WHERE! Since I have been here U.S. 280 from the Cahaba Rvier bridge to Wal-Mart has been paved three times! You heard me correctly! THREE TIMES! They come by every two years and scape about an inch of asphalt up and replace it, taking several months in the process. Now some of my more jealous friends who live in Jefferson County complain that they cant get streets paved,well I say too bad! Oh surely the county commission in Jefferson County could redirect unspent funds into some ones pocket if they wanted to but NO! They want to fight about domes and entertainment districts instead of important things like roads.

     I don't care how much money the Shelby County commission  waste or lines in whoevers pocket is needed to see that I drive on the best possible roads! Having just recently bought my car tag and seen how insane the price was, I truly believe I deserve that kind of service in road management! Some people say no road on earth could possibly need that much work. Well, it doesn't! So what! It never has so much as a crack but that's not important, the point is it will never crack cause it's so well maintained! Oh they could have spent the money fixing the traffic flow problem but then I would have to drive on ...normal roads! I don't think so!

   SO to the Shelby County commission, or who ever is responsible, I say waste on! Rob rape and pillage if you must but keep me in the roads to which I have become acustom! And as for the whiners in Jefferson County, get over it! You can come over and ride on my road on Sundays when I 'm not using it!

Thank the Shelby County voters for the roads! Maybe Jefferson County could grasp that concept? Yeah, I doubt it too!

This Blog was meant as a tongue-in-cheek look at govenment waste. I had originally written a blog asking FOX6 to look into this. I can't think of a road in the qorld that needs paving every 2 years. When you factor in the high traffic and the problems paving causes, doing the same 4 miles of 280 every 2 years is insane! not to meantion a waste of funds. But I believe that is exactly what this project is, a way to waste left over funds, I worked for a Chief who use to brag about how much of his budget he "didn't" spend, This was at a time when offciers were wearing rags and had no equipment, he prided himself on not using his budget for what it was meant for. Where as he considered himself a great genius, The works he was cheating had no love for him at all! Spend the money on what it is meant for! Don't ask for more taxes than you need!

Sorry Bro,I was thought you were talking about paving roads in general.Get a load of this I live on Lane Dr. In Leeds,Ok 1 side of the road is in Jefferson,My side is in St.Clair,with the county line smack dab in the middle of the street.Ok the Jeff Co.side is falling apart,potholes every where,and it's like driving on a wash board! and the St.Clair side has new blacktop and drives great,now tell me that ain't crazy.And exuse the language but that ex cheif of yours was a sorry ass!It's cops like that, that make people think your all bad,If my cities cheif was like that to his men,that would have me wondering how much does he care about the citizens his department is bound to protect?

23 year veteran police officer.I am a father of two and grandfather of three. I love to poke fun at things that need to be examined. My favorite sayings are: Don't sweat the little stuff and try not to think too much. As a police officer, if you don't get complained on once in awhile you're not doing your job! I have already been there, done that, got the scars, tee shirt and coffee cup!
