Mr. Danny Thrower,
My name is Yolanda Sykes-Simmons and I live on 226 Ambassador Ave., Moncks Corner, S.C. I am writing you because I live on a dirt road. I have lived on this dirt road for 12 yrs. I have put up with the fly ash you dump on my road that dirties my car all summer long. I have put up with the fly ash that turns to mush when it rains and washes away. What I will no longer put up with is the way my road is now, it has never been this bad. I can hardly get off my road because it has not been graded in at least 2 months. I have a brand new car that looks like I have been mudding in the woods. I work at a respectable place and would like to go to work without all the mud and ash all over my car. There are deep holes in the road forcing us to drive in a field to try to get around them. I have had to wade threw mini lakes and ponds to try to get to the paved road and it makes no since. I know it has been raining BUT there have been a few days in between them and someone could have come here a graded the road. I am very frustrated and very angry and are ready to call the media to show them how we have been forgotten, no stranded out here. I voted last November to have this road paved and I want to know when that is going to happen?I have attached pictures that I have taken. I have posted these to my blog, face book and will continue to post them and complain until something is done. We deserve to be able to drive down a road without worrying if we are going to get bogged down. I would appreciate you not dropping big rocks and that fly ash on my road it is damaging the our cars. Down right disgusted,Mrs. Yolanda Sykes-Simmons


Then I sent this one this a.m. ----- DID I MENTION I AM PISSED OFF!!!!
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SEND A E-MAIL ON MY BEHALF STRESSING THE BASIC RIGHT I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE DOWN MY ROAD!! THIS IS NOT THE HORSE-N-BUGGY ERA.
THANK YOU!!!!

Mr. Thrower,

I must inform you that I am highly PISSED OFF right now. I almost got bogged down this morning trying to get to work. WHY you may ask? Could it be because my road had not been graded or even the DEEP HOLES filled in making it possible for those of us who do not own a BIG OL'Truck can get down the road. NOW my brand new 2010 KIA SOUL is shaking. The steering wheel vibrates when I hit a speed over 55 miles per hr. The car it's self shakes when I am going less than 45 miles per hr. Which by the way WAS NOT HAPPENING!!!!!!! until this morning after I got bogged down. So I am taking it to get a power spray under the wheel wells and hope that the only thing wrong with it is just some mud is globbed somewhere. However if there is more damage done because of your negligence you will be receiving a bill from me. The angrier I get the louder I get. I want results and not excuses. Please feel free to call me. If I don't hear from you soon, I will be calling you.

Down right Pissed!!!

Yolanda Sykes-Simmons
