Local resident Jim Waddle capped off Monday morning’s LeFlore County Commissioners meeting at the LeFlore County Court House by sharing his concerns about Knothole Road and a bridge near Shady Point. Waddle told the board that the bridge has been closed and a tinhorn being clogged and washing out that portion of Knothole Road, and that concrete barriers have been moved that might make it appear the road is open.
