Every once in a while they get an inch or four of snow and it brings them to their knees. Citizens call for the mayor to "do something" but what can be done. If the week before the storm mayor had purchased snow removal equipment, stored rock salt, and beefed up the city payroll "just in case" there was snow, the citizens would have been outraged and called it a waste of taxpayers money, union featherbedding, and launched a recall.<br /><br />The snow we have now is the worst I've seen it in recent memory. I believe city crews (Dover, Phila, et. al) have done the best they can. It just keeps snowing every day and the side streets are going to be bad...for a while to come I'd guess. If you want side streets to be plowed clean and kept that way then vote for the city income tax to go up another 1/2 percent to buy the equipment and hire the men to use it to keep your street pristine evey 15 years when we get a snow like this. They can spend the rest of the 14 years and 11 months leaning on shovels.<br /><br />And 30 seconds sucks. That's why I like it.Melvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485981150374561757noreply@blogger.com
