you know im fine with the one lane down the street that they did….but could you tell the cops when they get a call on one of these side streets with only one lane plowed (and it’s a dead end) that parking in the middle of it blocks people from getting out making them late for work!!!

Taxes go up, but quality of city services goes down. Where the F$%# is that money going? I want the city to answer THAT question! This “plowing” issue is just a red herring.

Notice they had said that they had gone down all the streets we “the people of wait streeet” did not see any trucks at all which includes those inspectors untill all of the media was called and a stink was made. and yet again they where broadcasting from one end of wait street plus an anbulance could not get down the street.

Which also requires a dot physical card and drug test prior to employment. Not so easy to just cross train people. Look at the politicians cutting the budget for snow removal, and not allowing budget to roll over for such an instance. Or put it into equipment instead of spending it on elsewhere

In order to drive the big plow trucks, the driver needs to hold a class b license

B**ch b**ch, that’s all everyone does. Come on people you can’t prepare for a blizzard like this. No matter what you might think. In a city this size it still would of taken days to do them all even with more suitable trucks. If you don’t like it move somewhere that it doesn’t snow

Then if the workers had to rest and the small pick-up trucks could not do the job, Then hire someone to drive those big trucks, While the DPW workers are at home resting.

We have not had much snow in the last couple of years, why didn’t they take to snow removal budget to update the equipment?

That’s because they don’t check the vehicles these contractors are driving! Most are lawn services with old pickup trucks with no snow tires on them!!! And the ones who can do the jobs, they deny them, because “LOU’S LAWN CARE” is cheaper!

Ohhhhh! Guess that’s why some streets were plowed just half way forcing drivers to back up and out of a street that looked plowed but wasn’t when you got half way down.

I imagine there is a liability issue for private contractors to use the city vehicles. And we were happy to help ourselves…and our neighbors with our snowblower….free of charge.

So you’re a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you, what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets.
You are allowed to shoot four Congressmen, Senators, Presidents, or any Federal combination thereof.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating,
air conditioning and all the health care you need !!!!!! Need new teeth? Need glasses? That’s great. Need a
new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? How about *** Change Operation to give you a new perspective on life?
No Problem because as a convicted Felon you would have a Constitutional Right to any above procedure,
and more;
much, much more.

And, as an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.

Now you may ask who will be paying for all of this? Why It’s the same government that just told you that they cannot afford for
you to go into a home.

But the best part is because you are a prisoner, you don’t have to pay any income taxes anymore !!!!!!

Is this a great country or what ??????

In God we trust !!!!!!
