Derrick Spinks Quotations

We repaired the place we worked, and we do that on all of our jobs. We had a crew that had moved from there a few days before. I have a clean-up crew on every job that we've finished, and they fix the ditches or anything that needs repaired.

I know they've had some problems with their heavy equipment. The judge has said they're going to repair everything they've damaged. I think they're willing to be good citizens and keep the roads repaired also.

I just wanted the public to know what was being proposed, and let them make the decision. I think it's something that would effect the timber industry. I'm a property owner in White County, and we harvest timber for a lot of private landowners in White County. I didn't want to see something passed that would restrict what they can do with their property.

There's been some that have torn things up and up and left. Every industry has those poor type of performers. We producers that are actively in White County all the time try our best to protect the roads. I do a lot of timber work for a lot of landowners and have for a long time, and I don't want to see us leave White County because we can't work, especially for landowners that have planted trees as a future for their kids.
