Bill Vaughan
Winter does adversely affect [the roads] and our roads have been let go, so they're more and more porous. We're going to have to put more and more emphasis on permanent patch and maintenance, so I expect a great deal of roads breaking up in the spring.
Bill Vaughan
A real patriot is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and rejoices that the system works.
Bill Vaughan
