Singing The Dirt Road Blues

They're singing the blues in one Grand Bay subdivision. Michael Mosley is so fed up with the giant potholes, he's singing for political help.

Grand Farms Road West is such a mess that all basic services have been cut off.

State Representative Spencer Collier introduced the Dirt Road Bill last year that would make it legal for the county to do basic maintenance on roads that pose a threat to people's health and safety. That bill died by pocket veto because Governor Bob Riley didn't sign it before deadline.

Collier has decided to introduce it again this year and says it would help residents like those in Grand Bay.

All 3 Mobile County Commissioners are opposed to the bill saying it would add 1300 more miles of road for them to maintain and would cost the county an extra 15 million a year.

Collier says not all private roads would be eligible under his bill.
