No easy fixes for county roads

DIAMOND LAKE — In the first of three town hall meetings held by the Pend Oreille County Roads Department, one thing was clear: There isn’t a way to finance needed county road repairs that will be popular.

Nevertheless, some of the people present at the meeting Monday night, June 30, at the Diamond Lake fire hall said they would be willing to pay to keep the roads from returning to gravel, which is one of the things that is currently taking place.
