Romeo was not alone in canceling school today. My opinion on snow days and dirt roads is well documented and tiresome. The effects on commerce and families is obvious.
So let’s talk solutions.
This is Michigan. We are a state surrounded on three sides by Canada and the Great Lakes. Winter weather shouldn’t effect commerce and education as much as it does. We are a well-educated state. We are a state that has just awoken to the reality that it is competing for commerce with other states and other nations. Look around, what we are doing is failing our economy, our children, and public safety. So what are we going to do?
What are the solutions? How can we prevent minor snowfalls like today from stopping our children from being educated, forcing parents to take unplanned vacation days, and keeping everyone safer?
Ideas. We need ideas.
