First, I promise a relatively short column this week.
Spring is, by the calendar anyway, here, but so is a lot of snow.
I would like to take this opportunity to recognize our public works department crew for their hard work over the past several months. They have had a pretty busy winter season, trying to keep our streets clear of snow. I have heard a few negative comments. But I've heard far more positive ones. It's a thankless job, the hours are bad, it is hard work, and a lot of us wouldn't want to do it.
