Clean Sweep - Putting Lipstick on a Pig

Over the past several weeks, Town Meeting Members have been getting tours of the deplorable condition of the Mount Pleasant Cemetery.  Yesterday, during one of the tours, pictures of buried markers, chunks of asphalt on graves, tire marks across grave sites and commercial vehicles parked inside the cemetery were taken.

See the pictures below.

At that time, DPW Ops Manager Jim Dodge was observed driving around in his $60,000 tricked out SUV.  Today, landscape contractors, DPW employees and street sweepers were seen doing a surface cleaning of the roadways; putting the lipstick on the pig called Mount Pleasant Cemetery.

Glad to see the boys actually working for a change.
