While the winter weather that gripped the area for several days was expected to start to thaw on Thursday, the response from local communities and agencies will be something that will be studied for quite some time to come.
State Representative Reggie Smith, District 62, said he has watched the situation unfold and been as upset as anyone else by the number of people who have been left in the cold and without water during this event. It has been agonizing to tell you the truth because there is not a whole lot that those of us in leadership can do but hope these guys catch up and fix the problem on the ground, Smith said.
