$50,000.00 that the Texas Sand Company has offered for road repairs.
That is a mere fraction of what these trucks are going to do to our roads
and bridges.
Mr. Kramer has already told us it will cost $200,000.00 per mile to repair
the roads from heavy usage.
In my opinion $50,000.00 from a huge company is like 5.00 or .50 from you
and me.
And if they are all of a sudden offering this money they know the damages
will be much higher.
I hope the city and county attorneys recommend not accepting the 'road
funds' and put a straight tax on the sand trucks.
I don't know how else to fund road repairs. The taxpayers should not have
to pay for what these sand trucks do to the roads. Very few are making a
lot of money from this sand.
