Lincoln County Judge Buddy Earnest said Tuesday that while taking care of county roads is not his only responsibility, it is the one that most of the county’s residents are concerned about.

Appearing on the Oldies 101.3 morning show, Earnest said there are also issues with the County Courthouse, which he described as a “historic building with a lot of problems but the public wants to hear more about roads.”

Asked specifically about roads, particularly in light of heavy rainfall and flooding in May and June, Earnest said this.

He was also asked what else is being done to improve county roads.
