Who cares who tosses the carcass? Just do it. Fast.

The state, counties and municipalities are in a squabble over who should be responsible for removing dead deer carcasses from the sides of roadways. The state Department of Transportation has been doing it for years, but now said in its cost-cutting efforts, the towns or counties will have to take over the responsibility.

It makes sense to me, especially if it means quicker disposal. How many times do you pass the same carcass for days before it's finally gone? The state has 12 workers statewide who clear the deer. That gets pretty nasty. If the towns can haul it off the roadway the same day, that's got to be better for the sanitary protection of residents, pets that may get loose or other stray animals. And it will be much better on the stomachs of drivers who now have to watch a carcass rot for several days when they pass by.
