Robinson was a guest on the Oldies 1013 morning show and was asked by host Greg Horne how the figures for work done this year compare to work done in the past.

Robinson said he believes the work that has been done on the roads has created what he described as “mini-dragstrips” and said it is fairly expensive to do the work.

Asked about the county’s overall revenue, Robinson said this.
