Jim Kenyon: The towing gets tough in White River Junction

Angelique Benner walked around the corner from her apartment in downtown White River Junction to the town parking lot behind the old American Legion hall, where she immediately noticed something was wrong.
She called Hartford police. “I think my truck’s been stolen,” she told an officer. “It’s missing.”
A few hours later, police called back. Her pickup wasn’t stolen. It had been towed by the town.
Benner, a 39-year-old tax preparer, wasn’t alone in her predicament. On March 1, eight vehicles were towed from the town’s South Main Street lot to make room for snow and ice removal.
