City declares 'significant weather event'
SooToday
81If they maintain the roads and sidewalks during a storm the roads and sidewalks would not be considered 'a state of repair'. Whoever made this policy up has never had to drive, walk , used a wheelchair or walker to get around in this City. Shame on you city and counselors we live in the North, we pay high taxes for road/street repairs/maintenance do your job!

The Sault receives a bundle of money for housing starts
SooToday 12Hopefully the power 's at be take time to do proper research and put these funds into programs that will help those who WANT help, such as affordable housing. Follow a housing model that BC has set with the Mental Health Association and place those who need and WANT to he helped into housing and supports. Any chance of that happening???? No luck in listening to the taxpayers suggestions!! probably will be wasting the money on metal snowflakes, parks and pools that are unsupervised and risk of being sued!!

Portion of Peoples Road closing tonight for snow removal
SooToday 6Seems the west enders gets most of the snow removal while the east enders have 7 foot snow banks, narrow roads and daily anxiety about going out of driveways or streets for fear of being in an accident. We pay heafty taxes as well!! I guess we'll have to have a major accident or the emergency services placing a report that they are not able to get through.. in due time perhaps.

Excessive heat causes office closures at local building
SooToday 3With the ongoing issues with the building and the landlord, one would wonder WHY tenants are still in that building? Wouldn't it make sense to move to another location? The landlord obviously waits until there's media coverage to respond to any problem, then empty promises are made. Common sense only tells me that the landlord obviously doesn't care... so why are there still tenants?? I know for some, it's a matter of $$ ... maybe rent is cheap, location is convenient etc. However, come on.. wow, stop complaining and move out if you're not satisfied. On the other hand, then we as tax payers will have another empty building that will need to foot the bill for. Only common sense solution is to move out.
