QUOTE In 2009, officials will remove $225 million in maintenance funds from rural areas in West Texas, where most roads are in good shape, and shift the money to coastal and metropolitan regions, where one in five roads needs repairs. A bigger hit would take place in 2011 and 2012, when officials cancel $865 million set aside for new road lanes and stick it into maintenance. those are the parts im interested in. do west texas maintenance funds being scratched out inhibit the buttload of construction lubbock has been strangled with for the past 4 years? id definitely think the later part would affect it as the marsha sharp freeway construction is supposed to be winding down by then. but i was impressed with how quickly they got the south west portion up and have seen crews working on saturdays and late at night around brownfield and 19th -------------------- Little monkeys making money
