Priorities in the ‘wrong place’
To the editor:
As we write this, the storm which wreaked havoc on our village occurred exactly one month ago, yet we are sitting at our window looking out at massive piles of tree branches and leaves still lining both sides of Wall Street. It is simply incomprehensible that the village has not been able to clear the streets of the debris. Inconvenience aside, the road (or what you can see of it) is making driving outright dangerous. We invite you to take a drive down our street to see for yourself. But be careful – driving is treacherous here.
Our Thanksgiving guests, who came from parts of the state near and far, and who were forced to find parking quite a distance from my home because there was no clear space on my street, were flabbergasted at the condition of the village roads. All wondered if we had neglected to pay our taxes this quarter, or if we had paid the exorbitant amount, just where did the money go? (We’d also like to know the answer to that.)
