    The majority of Arkansas doesn't have or need an abundance of snow removal equipment. If you were a taxpayer would you want millions tied up in this type of equipment? When and where would the operators get/do their training? The equipment would seize up from a lack of use before requiring it.

    The storm was just one of those things that happened and after a few days it melted and went away. That's about all you canhope for and expect imho.

    They should take a lesson from good ol TN from Nashvill to Memphis the roads had been cleared and treated no ice or snow on the roads, Not till AR did it go down hill . I figure if TN can deal with it whats wrong with AR,

    I guess it's all dependant upon what the taxpayers of the state want to spend their tax dollars on. Remember, that if they spend money on snow/ice removal equipment and training one of two things else have to happen. 1)Taxes have to go up to pay for it or 2)Something else in the budget gets cut.

    The Government can give you waht ever you want as long as you are prepared to pat for it.

    Sorry but that was the only picture I got from the 208 accident I was about the 25th truck in line when they opened the road back up. I have no idea what happened as I got there after it was all over to sit still for a few hours and wait for them to open the roads back up. I am sorry for your lost ones. I wish I knew more but I don't. I am happy to hear that the little girl was unharmed. I saw that little pink car seat and saw no blood on it so I was hoping she was unharmed or really hoping it was just a carseat and the little one wasnt in the car that day.

    Why not have your "lawyer" get in touch with the Ar Highway Police and get there photos. I sure they took way more than Jolsen did when he was driven by.

    Draging up a 10 month old post? :biggrin_25513:
