Mike's top five

Dear Benny and Rae
Father says if you hear it on The River, it must be so. Father also says there is no one more cynical than Mike Benny. That’s why I’m asking you this question. Dear Benny & Rae, is there a snowplow in Prince George? The kids at school all say there isn’t. They laugh and poke fun when I say there is. Would you please settle this once and for all and answer my question? Yours truly, Virginia

Dear Virginia,
Those kids at school are wrong. They’re jaded and much like myself becoming more and more cynical. Of course there is a snowplow in Prince George. I know you can't see the snowplow, but some things don't need to be seen to be believed. For example, the Cameron Street bridge promised by our city fathers 13 years ago. None of us can see the Cameron Street bridge, but we know it must be there by now. The same can be said for our snowplows. We don't actually see them, but if they're not there, then what makes that scraping noise on the road at night and where does that 5 million in tax money go? And, as sure as we get snow in December, the streets are almost always completely clear of snow  by early June every year. So, yes, Virginia of course there is a snowplow in Prince George.
