Residents of Seattle appear to be up in arms about the current snowstorm and the city's wayward attempts at snow removal.
"Seattleites have been marvelous to each other over the past nine days, but the pokiness of our public services must be addressed. Given our image-conscious public officials, the town would do well to keep in mind a famous description of bureaucrats from the great Chicago columnist Mike Royko:
They create a dizzying paperwork world of regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, forms and applications. And they expertly maneuver these elements so that they are always right, even when they are obviously wrong. And they are never wrong, even when the clearly are."
Mike was tossed into the storm by columnist Joel Connelly of the Seattle P-I in his article entitled "City has to stop dragging feet in the snow"...
