I should point out that, before this past year of budget cuts, South Brunswick road crews were second to none and always -- and I mean always -- out-performed the state and county when the white stuff fell. But with fewer public works employees, too many streets were left with too much snow as late as Tuesday.
I could blame the mayor and council. I could blame the public works staff. But that would be wrong-headed, given their past responses to bad weather. I blame the governor, even if he refuses to take any blame for anything.

The governator, Jabba The Christie didn't blame teachers or the NJEA for this snowy debacle! Will wonders never cease, please, alert the media, Christie passes up a chance to demagogue against the NJEA.
“If someone is snowed into their house, that’s not our responsibility,” Christie said.
When asked about mayors who said they were forced to divert their resources to unplowed state roads instead of clearing local roads Christie said, “I know who these mayors are and they should buck up and take responsibility for the fact that they didn’t do their job.” What a guy, just lovely, he's all heart and empathy (sarcasm alert).
Oh, and Mr. GOP governor is going to ask FEMA for financial help, he's going to ask for help from the big bad horrible federal government that all GOPers hate, loathe and bash at every opportunity. Of course this GOPer will get a great pension and health care benefits from his gigs as US attorney and now governator.

Now there is something we can agree on. Let's convert ALL Gooferment pensions to 401ks on a cash basis. That ENDS for once and for all screwing the Gooferment bureaucrats by failing to fund the pensions. (Where are the Union Leaderships on this issue? If a private company did that, perp walk for all the execs. Oh, yeah, there's an incestuous relationship between everyone BUT the taxpayer.)
Agreed?
