Road frustrations return to the forefront at supervisors meeting

A familiar discussion on the state of Grundy County’s gravel roads dominated the most recent Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday morning when a concerned resident suggested shifting the secondary roads crew’s priorities and suspending service on roads without homes.
           
Jon Keninger, who lives between Wellsburg and Ackley in the northwest corner of the county, explained that his frustration is “growing larger every day” and blamed the condition of the roads on what he considers inferior maintenance.
           
In listing his grievances, Keninger, who added that he travels a five county area for work, alleged that he had witnessed Secondary Roads employees making personal purchases at Norby’s and driving 25 miles per hour near the Iowa Select Mill Site, and he questioned why the supervisors have received raises if they only work “three to four hours per week.”
           
“I feel that we have poor workmanship in this county, and I travel this county a lot,” Keninger said.
