Ticket & A Tow Bill – Yet Another Reason not to Drive Around. ROAD CLOSED Sign
March 15th, 2016 by
For at least the third time in 36 hours, a driver decided that the road closed sign did not apply to them, but found soon out they were wrong.
Drew County sheriffs deputies (again) forged through the water to assist the driver, who will receive a citation and a wrecker bill, as will anyone else who bypasses the road closed signs, and puts first responders and emergency workers at risk.
The Mississippi driver of the northbound blue Infinity was not injured, unlike her checkbook

SIEMENS Case History & Summary
March 9th, 2016 by
In September, 2013, the City of Monticello granted a contract to Siemens for the installation of approximately 4,300 new water meters city-wide, and for the replacement of some of the old water mains in the core of the City and construction of other water system infrastructure. Mayor Allen Maxwell died on March 10, 2014, before any work on the project had commenced. Within a couple of days following the death of Mayor Maxwell, Siemens made demand on the City for payment of approximately $5 Million, and payment of that money was made by the City to Siemens on the day of Mayor Maxwell’s funeral. The funds came from a revenue bond borrowing done by the City to finance the project. Work on installation of the water meters then began, and a couple of months later Siemens made another demand for payment of approximately $2 Million, and that was paid by the City to Siemens.
