I
just wanted to say what a wonderful job the town did regarding
the cleanup after the last snowstorm. As you know I live on a
side street by the Road Department kept coming. If you needed
to get out or an emergency vehicle had to come there wasn’t
any problem getting out.
I
just wanted to say thank you for a good job.
