Response to the police log person throwing snow at snowplow on Feb. 13, 2014. That is not all the story. For one the snow was at the plow and not at the windshield as the driver tried to make more of it. Also this was the fifth or sixth time driving around the roads since it stopped snowing and there was very little snow being plowed. It is a shame the city has to pay them at that time for just driving around taking taxpayer money for just driving around. The police stated maybe he was making the road wider but the truck is too small to move the large snow banks. Also the plow the roads with 3 feet from the curbs making the road narrow. these plow people are not supervised at all.
I recently decided to use the City of Westfield online bill paying service to pay my real estate taxes. This service is a joke! First you are limited to a payment by credit or debit card and the only options are Visa or Mastercard. Second there is a service charge for using this service. I my case I would have had to pay $46. Needless to say I canceled the transaction. I would encourage everyone not to use this service. According the city’s website regarding online bill payments
