No hope for the Burgh, especially when it snows

Mayor Luke was upset about poor snow clearing practices by the Department of Public Works. Sorry, Luke, but this has been going on for generations and there is no hope in sight, especially when one considers the idiotic Letter to the Editor in today's P-G by one Melanie Hall, a foreman for the DPW. Ms. Hall "deeply resents" criticism of her department, probably because she knows they do a crappy job. She claims that she takes her job "very seriously" but provides no data to support her contention that the DPW does an "excellent job of clearing the snow and ice from the city streets." And to add insult to injury, she seems to blame the entire predicament on drivers and, this is great, cyclists, who she claims are a "major hazard to driving in any weather, but especially in bad weather."
