Well I can honestly report that my road in Washington Township of Greene County which is a township road and therefore, the responsibility of Washington Township, has been neglected per the norm for the most of 2009 and now the start of 2010. I guess the old adeage of "getting what you pay for" does NOT apply here!!!!! Our taxes have been paid on time every year and for my dollars, my road has yet this morning to see a plow truck, in fact, it hasn't seen one since yesterday morning before 7 am. Nor did we see any ashes or salt dropped either. We have a well traveled road here due to the trucks that pump from recent gas wells being drilled in the area, my road is also the first road used when 18 is shut down due to flooding. And yet it is neglected by the working supervisors of the township. I also want to point out that our trash collections from the company Waste Mangement has refused to pick up our trash along our road due to the sad neglect of snow and ice removal from the working township supervisors. Which poses the question to Mr. Dean and Mr. Good are you willing to clean up the trash mess from wild animals looking for food last night, will you also supply the trash bags out of your pocket when cleaning up the mess? Nope............... you can't even get off your duffs and take care of the township roads properly, (unless of course the road happens to be the road you live on). And you want us to continue to pay your paycheck until you can be elected out of office?!!! Mr. Dean I didn't vote for you, I can promise you I would never vote for you!! And Mr. Good don't count on my vote either!

You should send this in as a letter to the editor as well, if you didn't already.

I would burn a giant lower case "t" on their lawn. For "time to plow our streets". I bet that would work.

Yeah, Cy... The best way to make sure your road gets plowed is to send an insulting letter with your name and address -- to those who
do the plowing...Hari-Kari, anyone...?

I just "got" this... I'm an idiot.

LoL... I was thinking of pouring gas on the ground in the shape of a "t" (with the little foot, via the font type) and lighting it... I was wrong-o

My bad. I just assume everyone has every South Park memorized. Reading back, I would've thought the same thing.

While your burning the "t", make sure to wear a ghost costume. You'll definitely scare them into plowing your street.

I believe dick's original post was much less subtle...but he edited it.

No, Cy, as the person stated, the road is plowed by the "working Supervisors"....If this is true, that means the supervisors drive the trucks, or determine the routes, and are free to decide where to go....Last thing I'd want to do is alienate them in the wintertime, by criticizing them in a letter with my name and location attached

But that's the great thing about letters to the editor...they can be anonymous.
