: So I dont live in the Kittanning area anymore, but read the LT article on the police citing residents (including the elderly) for not clearing off walks.
: This is ridiculous. Does the borough need cash that bad? Or is there really that little to do there for the cops?
: I bet the borough wasnt on top of cleaning the snow off the streets, towns usually arent. I say write up a law that says if a street isnt clear 24 hrs after a storm, the borough gives back taxpayer money.. the flakes wouldnt have a chance to hit the road probably.
: Cassesse said in the article "the elderly need to arrange for someone to clear their walks before a storm". So these old people not only have to be weather forecasters, they also need to have extra spending cash to pay someone to do it, or to pay these idiotic fines.
: Hey Ed, why dont you volunteer to clean those walks yourself? Protect and serve right? Nah, bitch and fine is more like it.
I agree. After that snow storm a few weeks ago, they have a lot of room to talk. Let's charge them for not taking care of the boro streets.
