[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The snow stopped falling 60 hours ago and our side street in NW has not seen a plow.  It will take another day to shovel out the car once a plow does come through.  It was a lot of snow, but city had a week to prepare.   Major fail Mayor Bowser.  [/quote]

I truly don't understand this "the city/Metro/whoever had a week to prepare" argument. You can't plow until it has actually snowed, regardless of how well you planned in advance.[/quote]

[b]But resources should have been brought in from states that did not get snow. [/b] There is a snow melter on the way from Indiana, why was it not already in place?  You should have higher expectations for your government.  [/quote]

So Pittsburgh should have packed up all of its snow plows and sent them to DC? Why would Pittsburgh do this? What money would DC use to pay for this?[/quote]

Oh I don't know. Maybe she could use the revenue from the 4000 parking tickets written on Friday.  Or she could apply for federal disaster assistance.  Or have a bake sale.  Leadership is about solving problems.  [/quote]

Good news! She already has asked for federal disaster assistance! But you can't use money you get after a storm to pay for snow plows before a storm. That applies to parking tickets and bake sales, too.

Your thinking seems to be: "My street hasn't been plowed, somebody oughta have done something, I don't know what but something!!!!" I'm sorry that your street hasn't been plowed, but I don't have much patience with that.

Have you shoveled your sidewalk?[/quote]
