Is RCOC spending all its money in some other community?
Assertion: "The Road Commission is not spending enough money in my community because it is spending all its money in other communities."

Response: The above statement is both true and false. It is true that the Road Commission is not spending enough in any community. It is not true that the Road Commission is spending the money someplace else. The Road Commission spreads the road dollars around as best it can. There simply are not enough dollars to do an adequate job anywhere.
