White County Judge Michael Lincoln has sent letters to Chesapeake Energy and Southwestern Energy, asking them to pay for nearly half a million dollars of road improvements. Lincoln noted the companies already pledged to help repair roads in White County, which has 4,400 miles of county roads - the largest system in the state.
Under Lincoln's plan, Chesapeake would pay $351,100 to fix 28.6 miles, while Southwestern Energy would pay $85,600 for seven miles.
