Allow me to respond to letters regarding my storm-related letter.

In the first place, I wasn’t criticizing Puget Sound Energy. I noted that they had a tough job, and I appreciated getting my power turned on as quickly as they did. However, we pay a big price for that power, and I don’t think it’s too much to expect good service from them or Comcast.

My criticism was of the City of Auburn. And I don’t apologize to anyone for that.

And, as far as me being “self-centered,” I beg your pardon. I too am a senior citizen ,and I wasn’t concerned about myself, but for my husband who just happens to be gravely ill with cancer and Parkinson’s disease. I was concerned for his safety.

Cities should be prepared for all kinds of inclement weather, including snow. We have had some bad snowstorms in the past, including last year, and our weather appears to be getting more severe each year.

To condone the way the City does business is ridiculous.
