[Vision2020] Snow problems, and City planning

[Tom Hansen]

I agree with you 1,000,000,000, . . . %, Bev.

But, one of the problems is . . .

During the summer when the streets and sidewalks are clear and dry, and 
the birds are chirping, and thoughts turn toward vacations and Rendezvous 
in the Park and the Rennaissance Fair and how to allocate next year's 
budget . . .

NOBODY is thinking of dangerous snow-packed walkways, at least not until 
Bev Bafus steps up the the microphone again next February and reminds our 
city council (as she has done in years past).  And AGAIN our city council 
will sing that all too familiar refrain in six-part harmony while dancing 
their annual. . .

After all . . . Our city council's primary concern is "what is good for 
Moscow".  Isn't that how the song and dance went with the Hawkins 
Companies?

Seeya round town, Moscow.
