Hartin said there has been no funding for roads in the past.

“There are two different types of roads in Butler County,” Hartin said. “There are major collectors and minor collectors and the minor collector roads are the ones in the county that are falling apart so that is going to be my focus in the next four years is trying to work with Governor Bentley and others to improve the road conditions in Butler County.”
