Winter snow plowing on Road 38

Really? Mr Richardson it cost $14,000 in labour and $16,000 the year before. Seems you would not lie. I'm sure you just forgot to add the cost of fuel, the cost of break downs, the cost of the parts, mechanic to repair the truck and the regular maintenance costs. Not to mention the cost for the half ton truck that we all saw follow the plow truck up and down the road all winter. So Mr. Richardson when you just ballpark all of those costs together it's quite clear the true cost would have easily been double. As for the service on the roads, with Rd. 38  included it was nothing to be proud of or even comparable to years before. I'm also sure you just forgot the number of complaints last winter as well! So just who is it that you are trying to fool with your ridiculous statement, your council or the taxpayers?
