Kansas bridges

A functionally obsolete bridge in France

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the safety of KS bridges. I decided to write my congressmen to try to find out the names and locations of the 5,000+ Kansas bridges that have been deemed unsafe or 'functionally obsolete' (what a great euphemism to describe a broken bridge; reminds me of the new phrase 'very low food security' to describe the hungry). Anyway, I got a letter back from Rep. Dennis Moore saying that he has forwarded my letter to Deb Miller, Secretary of the KS Department of Transportation, for an answer. We'll see what happens. I'm not sure if this is a positive step or just a political brush-off, so I'm withholding judgment for now.

Hey, at least I got a reply.
