Letter: Counters Simonetti Op-Ed, says city bus service not fulfilling obligations March 12, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail To the Editor: Alderman Anthony Simonetti wrote a very interesting letter saying that the school bus problem is not city hall’s fault and parents are wrong for the outlandish demand of their children being provided transportation to school. The crux of this problem is that the city laid off really good personnel in the middle of a bus driver shortage. Now Mr. Simonetti seems shocked that those good staff members, who in his own words are in obvious demand, went out and found good jobs elsewhere leaving our kids without the service they are mandated to receive.
