Hales Corners hires new plow driver, solves potential snowplow delays

Hales Corners residents, especially those on dead-end roads, can breathe a deep sigh of relief. On Oct. 5, Public Works Director Steven Houte told the Village Board a staffing shortage meant people should brace for a longer snowstorm response time this winter. Ten days later, a post on the village's Facebook account said the Public Works Department hired a new snowplow driver, ending any potential service delays. "Our team is now fully operational and ready for the winter season," the post read. The post struck an opposite tone than Houte did at the Oct. 5 meeting, when he told the Village Board whoever he hired would not be in a truck, clearing snow off roads this year. "Some things are going to have to slide down as a priority," Houte had said. "You might have to do those dead-end cleanups the following day instead of that day." So what changed? Houte told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel after appearing at a special budgetary meeting on Oct. 20 that he found someone with the same qualifications as the department's former snowplow driver, Mike Engel, who resigned in August. Both a driver and mechanic, Engel could do things like leave his plowing route

The person who gets the ticket might not even be the one who was driving.
