HOW DO YOU GRADE MAYOR WALLING ON SNOW REMOVAL?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
The Mayor of Flint appears to be doing a great job at snow removal near my home and downtown. Your perception may be different but how do we know.

I argue that snow removal is a traditional test of a City Mayor. Entrenched opponents and supporters will resort to emotional argument.

I support increasing the professionalism in the administration of our city. Basically we should grow up as a community. Snow removal is measurable, so lets measure and introduce this argument into the debate.




We are in the middle of a blizzard and the Mayor of the City of Flint is ready for this challenge.

He even put it on the line this morning by interviewing that he is on site and he is in charge.

How do we measure his success or failure?Miles of streets plowed?Overtime costs?How will citizen satisfaction be measured?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?



How many street miles do we have in Flint? How many unique street miles were plowed ? Were similar types of streets treated equally. How many tons of salt laid down? What has been the overtime costs and then measure these numbers against what has happend historically? Was the equipment well maintained and available? Was there a plan? Were personnel trained?
