consolidation with sharp defunding of state roads and 4 year universities,
...what?
The State of WV is responsible for the Sixth largest road system among all the states. There are state road and then there are county roads. WV doesn't have the population, size, traffic, income to support all those roads. Obviously, WV can't afford all those roads. Many should be converted to county roads and the counties that can't maintain them...oh well.
WV has twelve 4yr public universities, several of them very close to each other and rather small. They can't afford this. Maybe 8-10 tops
WV is basically Detroit spread over a much more difficult terrain.
Ah, okay. I wasn't aware there was so much redundancy.
