Chicago runs out of money for snow removal

The City of Chicago has already spent $20 million on snow removal this winter, $1.5 million over its $18.5 million snow removal budget. The city has gotten 88% more snow this year than last.

A city spokesperson has said that it will use money from its corporate fund to get through the winter if it has to. Details can be found at the Chicago Sun Times.

The same has happened in Aspen and Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and other parts of the country, as well.
