Lisa Lee comments on Cooper Ridge Road project Personal commentary from Lisa Lee As Judge Melton's Administrative Assistant, I would like to reply to Richard Lee Walker's statement about Judge Melton only wanting to do the Cooper Ridge Rd project because Gordon Brown, whom I am proud to call my father, lives on the road. My father has lived on the 3 mile road for 30 plus years and never once, to my knowledge, has asked for any repairs to be done on the road or asked for blacktop on the road. If we were going to ask for help, do you not think I would have done so before now, since I have worked for the county for several years, and the need for repairs on the road have not just happened overnight, the need has been there for years? Instead it was Mr. Travis Giles (Scott Hill Road) who came in to see Judge Melton asking for help on getting Cooper Ridge Road widened because of the road being so narrow and dangerous, especially since so many families lived on the road, and numerous other people including Mr. Giles himself used the road. Cooper Ridge is a connector road between Casey and Adair County and several people use the road for a short cut. Mr. Giles oversaw the task of getting right-ways signed from the residents of Cooper Ridge. My father, daughter, grandchildren, relatives, and many friends live on this road, and I was relieved and excited when Mr. Giles and Judge Melton started the project of to make Cooper Ridge Rd a safer road to travel. I never ask for the road myself to be fixed, because I work in the Judge's Office I fully am aware of numerous tax paying residents in Adair County that live on roads that are in bad need of repair, but with limited funds the county is unable to do these repairs and I never felt my family deserved any special treatment over any other taxing paying person in the county. That is why money from the state is so crucial to Adair County. I would like to invite Mr. Walker to take a trip on Cooper Ridge and he would understand the need of repairs for this road, but I would advise him not to travel Cooper Ridge if he has any back troubles or to do so at a reduced rate of speed. Cooper Ridge Rd and Toria Rd are both roads in remote areas of the county that extremely need repairs; people living in remote areas of the county also have the need for safe roads to travel. Any money coming from State should be used on roads that have the greatest need of repair no matter if there are Democrats, Republicans, or somebody's family member living on that road.
