[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think she made a political calculation that the blowback from a failed snowstorm response would be greater than from wasteful spending. She was caught unprepared and that was her choice. It was pretty clear after 2-3 days of the cleanup that the contractors were piling on, they were taking every last bit of snow off of the streets long after things were passable. To her credit I'll say it seems like the work that was paid for actually got done, the trucks were out there and the snow was being moved. [/quote] I think you're right, and I also think she used the opportunity to reward her favorite contractors. [/quote] PP here, and I basically agree with you. A more nuanced view might be that her contributors have such sway within the administration that once the lid to the cookie jar was taken off there was no putting it back.[/quote]
