I have lived in Auburn for 80 years. On Nov. 23, I was on my way to Central Maine Medical Center. It normally takes me about 30 minutes to get there but that day it took me one hour to make the trip.

In all the years I have lived here, I have never seen the plowing of the main streets so poorly done.

There was no sanding done and the plow blades were up some 2-and-a-half inches from the pavement.

What is wrong?

People have said there is no money. I don’t believe it. The winter budget was passed a long time ago for the highway department.

When are Auburn residents going to stop putting up with it? When?
