Worth passing on

Here's an excerpt from city public information officer Marlene Feist's latest release

"Please remind people of safety issues around plows. One driver encountered a child's snow fort that had been built in the street yesterday. Several have had people running up to the plows, often in locations that are essentially blind spots for the driver, which can be very hazardous."

You'd think common sense would apply, but sometimes common sense isn't all that common.

A Matter of Opinion is really a matter of three opinions – those held by the people responsible for the opinion pages of The Spokesman-Review. Check in regularly to find out what they’re up to, what they think and where they differ and to joust with them if you want.
