Yes, this is a bit of THREADNOMANCY, but for good cause, not the least of which is a spit in the eye of the powers that be, and my former township, along with a good ole Muahahaha victory laugh, since the folks who wind up doing the shovelling can actually feel pretty decent about what their community service is accomplishing for once instead of the usual make-work.

Snow removal assistance for elderly and disabled residents is available free of charge from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office work program. If you are unable to shovel your walks/driveway you may contact the Sheriff's Office snow removal hotline and leave a message seeking assistance. Requests are honored on a first-come first-serve basis and you must qualify for assistance. The number of walks/driveways shoveled each day is dependent upon work program participation and fluctuates each day.
For snow removal assistance please call (734) 971-8400 ext. 78676. Be sure to listen to the announcement carefully and provide the requested information.
It ain't perfect, but it's better than nothing, and I have a very long memory when it comes to such things, especially when it gets provoked by watching the elderly struggle to avoid a fine their fixed income makes difficult to pay.

ETA: In case anyone missed it, this was the fuse that lit the eventual bombshell of the city council fiasco which came a bit later, and those two sets of books came back to haunt them rather bitterly in the beginning of THAT mess.
