Rock County drivers and businesses have endured a volatile six months at the pump, with gasoline prices rising and falling amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and disruptions to global energy supplies. The swings have kept fuel costs in the headlines for much of the year. High gasoline and diesel prices also became part of the broader cost-of-living debate during this week’s midterm elections, with candidates, political observers and voters pointing to fuel costs as one of the economic pressures facing households and businesses.

That was roughly $1.30 per gallon, or 45%, higher than a year earlier. Wisconsin’s statewide average was about $4.04.

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
