There's lots of flaws in the system for sure but throwing money at it isn't the solution. You can't purchase equipment and hire manpower for once in 100 year monthly snow accumulation. If things get back to normal and January/February are much drier you have all this expensive equipment and hundreds of employees sitting and costing taxpayers money for nothing. This leads to city workers needlessly salting and sanding streets when we get a mm of snow because they have been doing nothing for days/weeks which is just excessive and not great for the environment.
