As a person whom was hit by a city bus, becasue the mayor refused clear city roads in a timely manner. In an open meeting at the University I asked the Mayor this question," I get that we need to add cops on the road for public safety, but when the cops are take more calls for accidents on the road because the streets were not plowed. How do expect officers to do the jobs they really need to be doing, if all they are doing is taking accident reports?" He ignored my question and said," We need more equipment to do an effective job, we just don't have the equipment."  I said ," if you don't have equipment, then in that area where I was hit, you could have simply sub-contracted the University which does have plow equipment to clear that part of the road." Again the question was not answer, and he passed and moved on to the next person. In reading this article the almost million dollars in raises that were given we could have bought some plow trucks, and revealed some pressure of APD.
