If the govt taxes you for a service, I expect the service dont you, ie if you are charged for water do you actually expect water?
Im not asking for a PAVED road, but since the counties are usually into codes and permits asking them for the SAME should not be like asking for the moon.
Look it up in your counties building department ask them what a county standard gravel road is... I do not believe there is a county standard road that is dirt, it must be gravel and road base to drain water off and away form the center. They the govt imposes these restrictions on its citizens when building and getting permits so why not hold them to the same standard.
Honestly though, if they did not charge property taxes, then I would not complan.. no taxes not services, works for me, but no double standards
that is what is making the county sick, double standards and govt imposed regulation of private business. so hold their feet to the fire I say, let em roast...
do debt extension either, make em cut expenses and live within their budget NOW not in 2012

We cannot expect the government, city, county. state or federal to do everything for everybody. The area in Montana had record rainfall this spring so the road is probably not like this every year. Montana is such a big state that the counties couldn't afford to upgrade and pave every county road without raising taxes to an extreme level. If you had paved roads then building permits would surely follow and then you wouldn't be able to build domes and experimental buildings or even live in an RV without a special permit. One has to weigh the options. And as far as the roads go, wait until winter and the temperatures hit 30 below and you have snow and blizzard condiions. The county won't be able to bail out everyone then either.
