A major portion of the budget surplus of the state of Montana should be used to repair roads. The sorry state of many roads cause damage that in total possibly exceeds the amount of the surplus.
Cooperation between municipalities and the state could develop a workable plan where cost sharing would benefit everyone. The readers of your paper are all familiar with potholes and other hazards encountered on roads in bad shape.
Good roads are also safer roads.
