the road maintenance funding comes from taxes drawn from the wages of the workers the factory employs.

It doesnt make anything. Its just a place boxes a taken off one truck, like 70 washers, then distributed by truck to other 7 stores in the area. They dont make anything at all besides waste and pollution.
Walmart should pay for the roads they use more than everyone else. Employee uses the road twice a day. The company uses the road 24/7, trucks backed up at the docks and shit. They could have simply said "no" and taxed them like they do every other business in the area. They said "yes" and got some bribes i mean campaign contributions, probably some gift cards and shit, and a plaque on the building. The concrete company up the street didnt get a deal like that.. The funny thing is, there is a paving company on the same street. Their parking lot is immaculate, not a hole anywhere, cause they can be sued for that. They called a paving company from out of town to do that, too.
Same thing with a tractor the county had to buy. They could have gotten it from the local john deere. They went out of town, got some kubota or some shit. Now when it breaks down, it costs more money to ship it out of the county to the dealership to get it fixed. Gee, I wonder why they did that... Tired of that shit. Theres one tractor dealer, buy it from them. Its not like they were picking favorites. It starts at your local BOCC.
