THERE A LOT OF COMMENTS ON THE FACT THAT THE STATE IS BROKE. THE STATE IS ALWAYS BROKE ,SO WE VOTE ON BOND ISSUES EVERY YEAR, TO FIX OUR ROADS AND BRIDGES ALSO TO BUILD NEW ONES. SO WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO? DOWN TO THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE STATE!! SO I SAY LETS BUILD A BADLY NEEDED BRIDGE IN SKOWHEGAN, THAT WILL HELP TO BY PASS THE TRUCK TRAFFIC THAT IS DESTROYING OUR ROADS IN TOWN, AND LET THE PEOPLE ENJOY DOWNTOWN. THE STATE WILL SPEND THE MONEY, AND STILL BE BROKE AFTER. BUT THE TOWN OF SKOW.,AND MADISON WILL BE BETTER OFF FOR IT. THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, HOPE OTHERS HAVE THE SAME.report abuse

Target ,Wallmart, you realy want more of that.Well it will bring more mim wage or close to that jobs.And you may get a starbucs and one of them part time workers can take an hours pay and get a cup of coffee.Skow town is a nice town i was very lucky to have lived there.It was and is still a place full of very good people.A few jerks but a lower % than most places.Hey you gotta have a few to make the good look even better.You would be better off to build an upper level over what you have with an overpass that is used only to bypass the downtown.Hell people come just to see it.Realy i do not think anything is needed.And the town may get hurt bad.What ever is done i sure am glad i got to spend my early years there.report abuse

Kat Fuller stated at the meeting that if you feel the study should be continued or discontinued that you can contact her with your opinion(s). Seems like an opportunity to be heard!
