Narrative:

We at the control tower here at lan have continually reported the lack of a runway exit to taxiway 'C'. This taxiway is abeam and less 500 ft from an intersecting runway. Repeatedly we have aircraft landing runway 10R and instructed to exit on taxiway 'C' and they say they can't find or see taxiway 'C' and nearly turn onto the intersecting runway. We have been told by the airport they have no obligation to put a sign out because of the angle at which the taxiway exits runway 10R; and they haven't. We have been making this an issue for over 2 years. This is a highly critical active area of the airport due to its location and typical roll out distance for general aviation. I can only assume that it is not a priority for the airport because they have no money and what little they have they refuse to put into something that 'isn't required'. Some sort of attention need to be brought up to this critical runway safety issue and highly potential runway incursion area.
