Mr. Chairman, I certainly agree we shouldn’t be getting rid of any expertise we have in this area. We don’t plan to.
The program still can be applied. Each community has the ability to do so. Our capital planners are still available to work with the communities. We don’t intend to change that. DOT still has the expertise to apply the product. In fact, the amount of money in this area has increased, if anything, because now we can utilize the gas tax money to do some of the chipseal.
If the Member would like us to meet with his community to talk about a program and start planning for it, we’d be happy to do so.
