Councilman Mike Weller, upset with the lack of snow removal from the streets in his ward, sent a blistering e-mail to City Administrator Allan Williams and Mayor Patti York with a copy to the First Capitol News. While we do not usually agree with Councilman Weller we can understand his distress and concern for the safety of the residents of his ward. The e-mail he sent is presented here with no editing…..

Allan & Mayor, What the Hell is going On, my Ward, that’s is WARD 5 has not seen a Dam Snow Plow since the Snow storm began. The Only Road that has been plowed is Muegge Road.
HACKMANN ROAD and COUNTRY CLUB ROAD HAS NEVER BEEN TOUCHED... My phone is RINGING OFF THE DAM HOOK. THESE ARE TWO OF MY ONLY THREE PRIMARY ROADS.
NOT ONE OF MY SUB-DIVISIONS HAVE BEEN PLOWED.....
I RECEIVED ONE CALL FROM A RESIDENT THAT THE ONLY SNOW PLOW ON MUEGGE ROAD WAS A MODOT TRUCK.......
THIS KIND OF CRAP PISSES ME OFF.....
WHEN I GET HOME THIS AFTERNOON, I BETTER BE ABLE TO SEE CONCRETE IN MY ENTIRE DAM WARD OR I AM GOING TO RAISE MORE CRAP THAN YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE.
I WANT EVER DAM STREET PLOWED...
USE ONE OF THOSE BIG TRUCKS THAT HAVE A THING ON THE FRONT, IT’s CALLED A SNOW PLOW, AND THEY CARRY STUFF CALLED SALT, YOU PUT IT ON THE ROADS WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD....... HAS ANYONE SEEN ONE OF THOSE BEFORE.
I BET THE NORTH SIDE OF HWY 70 IS COMPLETELY DRY........
MY RESIDENTS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING IGNORED, EVERYTIME WE HAVE A CRISIS, WE ARE THE LAST TO GET SERVICE, EVERY DAM TIME
FORGET THE PARK MONEY I ASSIGNED TO WAPPLEHORST LAKE, I WANT TO PURCHSE A TRUCK AND SNOW PLOW FOR WARD 5... I’LL KEEP THE DAM THING IN MY STORAGE PLACE ALONG SIDE MY MOTOR HOME, AND WHEN IT SNOWS I’LL DRIVE IT MYSELF.... AND THEN I’LL HIRE SOMEONE TO PICK UP MY TRASH WITH IT TWICE A WEEK.... AND I’LL MALKE SURE THAT DAM THING WILL NOT LEAK CRAP ALL OVER MY STREETS.....
I SENT AN EMAIL YESTERDAY MORNING REGARDING THIS SAME KIND OF POOR SERVICE.
WILL SOMEONE PLESE EXPLAIN WHY???
YOU’VE NOT HEARD FROM LAST OF ME YET.... I’N FAR FROM FINISHED...
Regards,
Mike

Councilman Mark Brown Ward 3 was also having the city administration clear the streets of snow and ice in his ward. A copy of an e-mail Brown sent to the Mayor, Administrator and fellow Council members was attached to the e-mail we received from Councilman Weller. Brown wrote…
It is really a shame that the county, with all the miles and roads they have to cover has been able to hit their residential areas twice and our city has yet to arrive. It really shows our residents how little this administration cares about the small taxpayer.
That is exactly what I am telling the residents and they all certainly agree. I don’t know about you guys, but my phone at the office has been ringing off the hook. I have also been receiving calls from other wards so I know I am not alone. We need to take swift action at the next meeting.
Councilman John Gieseke told the First Capitol News that several areas of his ward were also in need of snow and ice removal and that he had received complaints from residents of Ward 8.
