Don't fall over when it dawns on you that what you propose would be "RATIONING OF CARE"!!!!!!

Apparently 'Ross' can only talk in ambiguity and innuendo.  Alot of people do this to avoid being sued for libel and slander.

From the Road Maintenance Contract between Caney River Wind Project and Elk County Commission 1. a. (iii):

]Repair to roads:  Caney River shall, at its expense, contract with qualified contractors to repair any damages to the roads and bridges directly arising out of Caney River's transportation of equipment and project components during the construction of the Project.  Caney River shall complete its final road repair obligations to the reasonable satisfaction of the Road Supervisor within one (1) month after Caney River completes construction of the Project, or as soon thereafter as weather conditions permit.

There is also an escrow account of $200,000 established for reimbursement of the county for any 'Emergency Repairs' performed by the county at its discretion.  

(This document is scanned into a pdf, and thusly I can't cut and paste out of it, and don't feel like typing more of it here.)

The PILOT (Payment In Lieu Of Taxes) starts at $4500 per installed nameplate capacity measured in megawatts.  Phase one is supposed to be 150 MW with full buildout possibly being 200 MW.  The PILOT increases by 2% each year in each of the succeeding 19 years. 

With the compounding effect what would start out as $675000 (150 x $4500) would become $806688 in year 10 and $983347 in year 20.  That's on 150 MW.  If the other 50 MW are installed, the PILOT would be $1,075,584 in year 10 and $1,311,130 in year 20.

I did the math, but using figures straight from the Dec 31, 2008 agreement signed between the Elk County Commission and the Caney River Wind Project.

Hope that helps some.

Sorry, I was in a hurry earlier and goofed up!

I thought the wind generator parts were supposed to come in to Howard from the north?

It never fails to amaze me.  KDOT doesn't want oversize loads going through places like Winfield, Ark City, Independence, etc, so they route them down K-99, and then seem surprised when things like this happen. 

How much critical time does this add to an ambulance run?  What if there was a large fire and the trucks needed to get from one town to the other as fast as possible?  If it is actually closed till tomorrow, what about the school buses?  Not to mention all the extra flat tires Lanning and Merle's will be patching because of the ordinary traveler being forced onto the county gravel roads.

It's way past time for my former neighbors to rise up and demand KDOT do something about the highway from Howard to US 166 or close it to oversize loads. (or all non-local semi travel for that matter)

[but not required to assimilate.]

A key concept mentioned early in story - The Muslims were allowed to immigrate to the countries of the European Union, but not required to assimilate.  I can't think of an instance in history were this idea ever worked out in favor of the original majority.

Nothing on KDOT or Highway Patrol websites.

1930 Oklahoma Highway Map:

K-11 ends at Sedan, Chautauqua, or maybe Elgin.  No corresponding route south to Pawhuska.  US 160 is K-12, US 166 is labeled east of Caney, but no label on that route from Caney to Caldwell.
