Council puts finances ahead of public safety

Today (Monday, Sept. 24th), Higgins Road, which provides access to North Shore Road, Silversand Lane, and Little Lane on Sand Lake, will be closed for 4 days while a new culvert is being installed. 

We've been told that Kearney's town council was advised to perform the work on one side of the road at a time so that one lane would always be available for emergency vehicles. But this method, as opposed to closing the road completely, would be more expensive. Since the town is in such bad financial shape, Council decided to put finances ahead of public safety and for the next four days, not only will the residents not be able to travel in or out, and local businesses have to close, but they had better pray they don't need police, fire, or ambulance services. 

Your tax dollars cut at work, Proudfoot.
