WHEREAS; good and reliable transportation is-an essential part
of economic development, and
WHEREAS; roads capable of handling the necessary vehicles to
supply any industrial expansion are vital to community growth,
and knowing that good roads are vital to county jobs and that
Indiana must have a dependable road system to compete as a
major Midwestern transportation hub, and
WHEREAS; county commissioners are charged with the
responsibility of maintaining and improving county roadways,
and
WHEREAS; the required funds to maintain these roads are not
property tax dollars, which counties could control, but
gasoline tax collected by the state government, which has not
seen fit to make an adequate investment in county roads, and
wHEREAS; we believe the Indiana Gene.ral Assembly should address
this concern with dispatch.
NOW THEREFORE; be it resolved that Gibson County Board of
Commissioners do endorse Advancing Indiana, an advocacy group
which believes that good roads are the backbone of Indiana's
economic health. Advancing Indiana is dedicated to solving the
road funding crisis. With a statewide membership, Advancing
Indiana offers innovative ideas, educates citizens and leaders
and encourages action.
