To the editor:

Well, it seems the city commissioners, in their infinite benevolence, have chosen to slap those individuals, both owners and renters, and businesses of Lawrence who for whatever reason — moral grounds, safety or respect for city ordinances — cleared their sidewalks while saying to those who choose to ignore those same precepts a pass by choosing to not enforce the city ordinance covering snow removal.

If you want an idea why I’m so worked up over this inaction, take a look at the sidewalks at the southeast corner of Ninth and Mississippi streets. Not only had they not been touched by Wednesday but access to both crosswalks was blocked by piled-up snow and the Ninth Street entrance was a sheet of glare ice! Then look around at the other businesses sidewalks at the intersection.

My landlord managed to get our parking area and sidewalks cleared in a timely manner. In fact, they were cleared by Monday!

Once again this City Commission has demonstrated that the majority of Lawrence citizens don’t matter!
