Observations from a journey
While traveling the roads from Clarksville to Waynesburg, you notice certain things.
First, during normal business days, a multitude of Greene County transportation vans can be seen coming from the Clarksville area. Sometimes they contain no occupants or just one. If that is the case, why are several of these behemoths dispatched to the same point, when a single, well-timed unit can be sent? If multiple riders cannot be coordinated, perhaps a smaller, more economical unit, with wheelchair accessibility, can be purchased. A fleet of smaller vehicles would, in turn, allow for better fuel efficiency.
Admittedly, these observations are only based on daily comings and goings from one geographic location. It could be the remainder of the county is served by buses packed with riders.
Secondly, on the same daily journey, I have seen sulfurous, orange-tinged water leeching from the pavement and into the storm ditches parallel to the road. If memory serves, this issue was used in the campaign by our now-serving state representative who vowed to investigate this. Offering the benefit of the doubt, these outbreaks may very well have been analyzed and proven innocuous. I cannot forget childhood memories of sulfur-laden streams that had no aquatic life and offered no possibility of swimming.
Please remember, out of mind is not always out of sight.
