Good questions, Jordan. I would also appreciate answers to them from County Commisioner McLaughlin. Speaking of highway 55. Does anyone else think the intersection and getting onto 55 going north from Lake when you are going East on Lake is poorly marked, dangerous and confusing? I would also like him to explain his role in getting a half a million dollar County loan to Urban Ventures? I have tried to call him about that subject more than once. He does not return calls. When are the Felien McLaughlin debates going to occur?
