[RP TownTalk] Complaint

[Andrew Waldron]

I completely agree. 47th Ave was plowed for the first time last night, THREE
days after the initial snow storm. And was salted today, FOUR days after the
storm. Clearly there is something wrong, and I concur. We should not just
ignore the problem by 'cuddling up with a good book.'
