It's because your taxes go to more important things like the Golden Neighborhood Homeownership program that seems is most beneficial for rich people who just lost their jobs and want to buy a house with cash.

For Sandy, for the last big snow, and tonight he seems under-prepared at best. I'm home now, but I spent the last few hours out, on Rt. 440, Kennedy Blvd, Communipaw, Ocean, and a number of side streets.

The roads are a mess. I did not see any plows or trucks spreading salt, and no evidence that any of them had been out.

I thought the whole point of preparedness is that you PREPARE. You are ready whether the storm comes through or not. I can't decide whether its the corruption or the incompetence that bothers me more.



Exactly! Was on Manhattan Ave, Kennedy, 139, and others on my way home last night at ~ 8:30 pm. A VERY BIG mess! I was sometwhat filled with rage over my humongous taxes going for basically zero road preparation, prevention, or snow mitigation.

They're plowing now. Main streets (Kennedy, Bergen, Montgomery, Communipaw) seem to have been done. The problem is that there's a lot of icing, so many patches are very rough, and no salting at the beginning of the storm means accumulation of ice adhering to the roadway which the plows just skim over.

A plow was parked on my block and I checked in with the driver. He'd been called back in to work, the JCIA hadn't done their usual storm plan.
