Just Another Expense We Pay For

There's a long list of private business expenses our tax dollars payoff on public land, but road repairs is one you probably never thought of.

Road maintenance is one of many management expenses that fall on the park service, which means it is paid by tax dollars. The park roads endure a lot of traffic from tourists, but have you ever considered how wear and tear from standard vehicles stacks up against the trucks going in and out of the park with their shipments of cattle feed? How about the massive milk trucks? The combines? The cattle trucks. Manure trucks. Slaughter trucks. Any other large, agricultural vehicle?
I haven’t specifically counted the trucks, but it has never been a challenge to get a picture of one, thus it seems they are ever-present.  That’s the reality of large, agricultural businesses operating within a federally owned park.  Whatever damages that heavy equipment is or isn’t causing, YOU are paying the repairs.
