How Many More Months Will It Take You, Mr. Perry?

At the Informal Common Council meeting on June 12, 3 1/2 months ago, DPW Superintendent Robert Perry was informed by a council member that the street sign at the corner of Washington and 7th Streets had been knocked over by a passing car moments before the meeting.  Perry acknowledged the issue and then misrepresented how the sign was originally installed and to be taken care of, referring to "bolts," "breakaways" and "concrete," when none of those things existed for this sign.  Maybe that confusion and misunderstanding is what is causing the delay to replace the damaged pole and the pair of street signs 3 1/2 months after they were removed by DPW.  Or perhaps our DPW Superintendent just doesn't give a crap about any of it. 

Of course, the missing street sign WAS directly across the street from the temporary home of City Hall, there to, among other things, assist people in locating City Hall.  And, of course, Robert Perry doesn't even have an office in any City Hall, temporary or not.  It's not a sign he has a need for.
