We had no choice, Franklin
The city of Franklin is already trotting out its sob story about how this nutty winter has forced snow plowing and salting operations to test the city budget.DISCLAIMER: I’m on record applauding the snow plow efforts this season. Overall, the drivers have been terrific.
BUT…
If the city is going to play this spin game and claim higher than normal expenses were responsible because of Mother Nature, then they’d better have a good explanation why trucks were out so often on sunny, non-stormy days doing cosmetic surgery on streets.
Was it necessary to be out on days when blue skies were the norm with trucks knocking down mailboxes? (Yes, they did, and yes, city officials, you’ll be hearing about that if you haven’t already).
I can hear the spin now. The winter was so horrible, etc, etc.
How does that explain a destroyed mailbox on a day when not a single flake fell?
Repeat after me, Franklin.
We are not a tax hell.
