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!
