Natural vegetation saves us money

I would very much like to see the roadsides cleared of brush, bushes and vegetation growth. I only like the natural vegetation on the roadsides, such as the grasses and wildflowers. To me, that looks nice and neat.

This natural vegetation also would be far less expensive to maintain. It must cost money to plant all the trees and shrubs. It is not surprising that it takes an abundant amount of tax dollars to constantly maintain our roads and highways – and we’re being asked to allocate more money for it.
