Mild winter? S'no kidding!
Towns are stockpiling salt and saving on plowing, wear and tear on machinery and overtime costs thanks to the winter of 2012 that wasn’t — so far.
Somerset Supervisor Dan Engert joked that as soon as it becomes a story, the winter will arrive and blow the budgets down.
Highway workers, who could be called at anytime on any day to clear the roads, have been cleared to indoor maintenance jobs and have been able to get outside to get a jump on other projects.
The so-far mild winter has created a mixed bag for City of Lockport streets and parks workers. When there’s no snow to plow, crews have been out trimming trees, fixing storm receivers and maintaining heavy equipment. These are all chores that usually don’t get done in winter, according to Norman Allen, director of engineering and public works.

Reform agenda touted
Empire State Development Corporation executive Sam Hoyt visited Lockport on Wednesday to tout Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s state budget and government reform plans.

It’s too bad the reforms won’t kick in before municipalities like the City of Lockport begin confronting fiscal crises, Mayor Michael Tucker said in response.

Shovel-ready park has perks
At first glance, the big, orange road sign announcing vacant property on Lockport Road as a “shovel ready certified” building site seems a bit gratuitous.
