Press Pass: Buffalo News Suburban Editor Bruce Andriatch on sidewalk snow removal

WBFO News

When a snowstorm buried the Buffalo area under more than a foot of snow the day after Christmas, pedestrians in some spots were forced to walk in the street -- dodging cars, buses and trucks because sidewalks were clogged with snow.  In a column that followed the storm, Buffalo News Suburban Editor Bruce Andriatch called on municipalities to begin ticketing property owners who fail to clear their sidewalks. 

Andriatch talks about that and other issues with WBFO's Mark Scott in this week's Press Pass.

As part of today's conversation, Mark and Bruce also touch on teacher evaluations in Hamburg, the firing of a Depew school principal accused of stealing funds, a controversy over a new hotel in Amherst and the arrival of Trader Joe's in Western New York.
