@MontCoExec , I have been hold for 90-plus minutes trying to tell your staff that your website is wrong. My street - Caroline Ave - still has not seen a single snow plow. Failed responses to big snow and ice is how politicians get thrown out of office. Don’t lie to voters!

I know many great journalists at both @latimes and @washingtonpost. Please don’t take your views on their owners out on them. Their journalism is essential today and in the future.

At least they didn’t mention the Marlboro Man!
