Snow Storm Coming Help!!
I learned yesterday in church that two members had fallen on the city’s ice covered streets and sustained severe injuries resulting in a broken leg for one and fractured wrists for another.

How many have been injured already? What data has been collected that shows what extent in health injuries and cost the citizens have incurred. What areas are more dangerous than others. And where is the apology from the city for allowing these hazardous conditions to materialize and continue to exist. And I’m speaking specifically about their error in judgement that led to the city being without salt.
