Granted, today is a holiday, a non-working day for city employees. But it is the same set of city employees who were on the payroll yesterday, a day on which they all were presumably required to work.
So please explain to me why a felled "city" tree has continued to rest, unmolested, on the sidewalk of Spring Street east of Vincennes since before Christmas? That's Mickey Thompson's job, starting today, and if it's still there when I pass on Wednesday morning, I'll want to know why Mayor England finds that satisfactory.
This New Year's morning saw yet another deluge and yet another spate of street flooding caused solely by the inattention and neglect of the streets department and the stormwater and drainage departments. Mr. Thompson, if it is your contention that the streets department is not responsible for clogged stormwater drains, please say so. We'll ask Mr. England if that's his view, too.
We're fortunate that the flooding was limited. Next time, though, it will be Mr. Thompson's fault.
