When I first embarked on this journey 6 years ago, I was asked, “What would I do differently than the previous Superintendents.” I responded, “That I felt that the Highway Department is the Town of Blooming Grove’s largest resource and that the thought process of “We only do roads” needed to change to meet the demands and expectations of the public.” I then promised, “That I would enact the concept used by the Department of Public Works, utilizing my education and experience, to provide a more efficient Highway Department by keeping many costly projects “in house” and expanding the annual goals of our town for the residents.”

Maher is concerned by the governor’s failure to increase funding amid inflation that will make it difficult for local governments to maintain local roads and bridges.
