…SNOW SQUALLS POSSIBLE TODAY…

0 Comments

Cold air moving in across the Great Lakes will generate numerous
snow bands and some dangerous snow squalls.

Use extra caution if you must travel into a snow squall, slow
down and consider exiting the highway. Rapid changes in visibility
and potentially slick roads may lead to accidents.

As the temperature will be near freezing all day today, any small
drop in temperature may cause a flash freeze where black ice will
form on roadways. Black ice is nearly impossible to see as the
road may appear to be only wet. Please use extreme caution,
especially on bridges, overpasses and around curves. Allow plenty
of stopping distance and avoid braking suddenly.

Clinton County Upgrades to Prepared 911 Calling

0 Comments

Clinton County Department of Emergency Services

The Clinton County Department of Emergency recently deployed state-of-the-art technology to improve services through a program called Prepared 911, which provides a variety of digital tools to bring enhanced situational awareness during emergencies.

One of the main features is the use of livestreaming technology, when a person calls 911, dispatchers at CCDES are now able to send a link that offers the caller the choice to opt in to allow live video to be sent from their device directly to the dispatcher. With the additional visual information, police, firefighters, and emergency medical services (EMS) can make more confident, better-informed decisions.

Senators Questioning Leads To Cancellation of Agreement

0 Comments

Senator Cris Dush 

My questioning, along with my colleague Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill, of the Game Commission last week for their hiring of former Senator Scarnati’s firm at $10,000/month has resulted in the termination of the agreement. The video of my questioning of the Executive Director on this issue can be seen in a post from last week.

Lately some folks have commented on my being direct in my questioning of Department heads. Some others have remarked that what I’m doing won’t make a difference. It’s true that a lot of times things move slowly in government but sometimes direct questions lead to direct results.
