The People Win Gravel Truck License Revoked

How?

• Parents moved from individuals sending letters to the elected representative to forming a community pressure group.
• The community group video taped evidence of truck driver’s infractions. They presneted it to the administration. Success. A traffic officer’s patrol would be doubled from once a day two twice.
• One evening the community group met with the administration to seek a compromise. Reduce deliveries during school hours or reduce deliveries during times when school begins and ends. No luck.
• News letter reports to surrounding residents featured the parent’s efforts to promote saftey for their children. The county’s value was equally clear––gravel wa needed. The trucking company needed work.
• Solution: change county’s position by changing the elected representative. The multi-term veteran was replaced.
