Emergency repair An emergency repair is under- way at the corner of Eighth and Pop- lar streets, where an old storm sew- er structure col- lapsed and caused the ground under the sidewalk to be eroded away. Pe- tersburg City Ser- vices Manager Ross Elmore said there was a large void under the side walk creating an dan- gerous situation. Elmore said they were doing work on other problems when the found it. Larry Hunt is work- ing with Petersburg on the project. vis. "That is part of what was taken in by the county. So we just knocked it all out. It isn't like we are going to go back and do it again in five years. It will last 30 years," said Nelson "So are you going to clean the snow on that road and do all of that? " asked Davis. "Sure. . . Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it is wrong," said Nel- son. Davis then moved to what happens to dirt removed from a ditch. "A few years ago you ditched a road because Eddie Joe needed dirt, not be- cause the road needed to be ditched," said Davis. "You mean the mud going across the road didn't need to be ditched? " asked Nelson referring to ditching do- ne along CR250W off of the Cart Road. "You ditched that until you had enough dirt for him and stopped. You didn't ditch the whole road," said Da- vis. "The road we just paved goes past Joe Sutton and Greg Coleman's hous- es. So you aren't satisfied with the ditching on that road? " asked Nelson. "Why didn't you put it in the field? Why did you haul it? You didn't need to, said Davis." "We give it to anyone who wants it. This has been like a two-year discus- sion with you. This is why I don't an- swer your texts on the fly, because you are always 'Mr. Conspiracy.' Do you want some dirt? " "I have been trying to get some for five years," said Davis. "I wonder why you aren't getting any? " asked Nelson. "Why am I not getting any? " said Davis. "I'm guessing it was because of your brother. Davis' brother Brian was pres- ident of the commissioners at the time. "If you want some dirt we will get you some dirt." He repeated, "If you want some dirt we will get you some dirt if that is what this is all about." Eventually Flint said, "Jeff (Nel- son) summed it up pretty well. "Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it is wrong. We blacktopped it this year. We aren't going to go out there and tear it up," said Flint. "No, probably not," said Davis.
