Letter: Last two ‘snow events’ a waste of fuel and wear and tear on city vehicles
March 1st, 2012 • Related • Filed Under
Regarding snow removal, the last two “snow events” we had—each of which produced a fraction of an inch—the city decided to unleash our snow plows, complete with salt spreading, when the weather forecast called for temperatures in the 40s later in the day.
I realize that we pay the city employees whether they’re “plowing slush” or playing solitaire back at the shop, but what a waste of fuel and wear and tear on city vehicles that results from this ridiculous waste of Elburn taxpayers money.
