Yeah, I-75 has more wrecks than 421 too, but 23 is a FOUR-LANE ROAD. We can't get any of those in Harlan County, but we've not any Harlan Countians in the governor's office. Just think about Pike County 30 years ago, and it's similar.

I don't think Hazard is using roads as an argument and neither am I. You just said it was a "freakin hour" to Harlan, so I pointed out it's a lot slower driving on curvy, two-lane roads than those you have in Pikeville.

You are the one who said the change was for safety (wink). US 23 IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN US 421. PERIOD.

For the record, US 23 was 4 lane highway long before Paul Patton made it to Frankfort.

If Hazard is not using roads as an argument, what is their argument?
