Cleveland is facing a shortage of road salt as the massive winter storm approaches, officials say, and the city will have to prioritize which streets receive salt treatments. “In the past, we would try to use salt in the residential areas to get down the pavement,” John Laird, Cleveland’s director of Public Works, said at a news conference Friday. The snow is forecast to arrive tonight, but the peak intensity of it will be Sunday. The city’s salt shortage stems from delivery issues with a state-contracted supplier, according to Laird. “The delivery is a little shorter than what we want, but we still have salt to work with,” he said, adding that the Ohio Department of Transportation has sent additional salt to the city.

In a series of posts, Sheehan encourages his followers to call their members of Congress (in this case, their two state senators) to demand changes to ICE funding before a Jan. 30 funding deadline.
