I don’t understand why there are gravel roads, if all people pay taxes to upkeep the roads, why are some gravel?

Who is responsible for road conditions?..state, county, city?

I don’t think it’s right to keep roads gravel, because it causes way too many car and truck problems, nevermind the school busses that have to be other them everyday.

And what did I hear in the news recently about the “state?” will start picking up some of the vehicle insurance cost, etc for poor road conditions?? (I only caught a little of it on the radio, and have no clue what the details were.. do you?

Is there any one out there that works for a car insurance place that could give details about bad roads refunds? I run 2 buses a day, and they have to travel dirt / gravel roads, and it’s tearing them up !
Figures.. I get two respected advisors to answer.. dang it.. I don’t have a clear path to take on deciding between.. and I don’t wanna, so.. a vote it shall be.. both answers are great!!
