I was just wondering why the city of Pawtucket seems to think the streets need sweeping every week. At a time when the price of fuel is so high and everywhere there are budget deficits, wouldn't it make more sense to provide better care for the elderly or lower income families. It also seems that law enforcement would be better spending their time trying to prevent youth violence than writing tickets for parking during street sweeping hours. Also where does this money go? It certainly does not go into snow removal, or programs to keep kids out of trouble.
Thanks, Mike
