And Usher would have done well to start his campaign right outside city hall where he did that interview today. AS we were finished speaking with him we met Luke Collymore who fell into a drain on Friday night. It happened on Orange Street and he said it's because of a wafer thin drain cover.
Luke Collymore
"When I was walking on this man-hole the whole cover of the man-hole broke-in. I can't believe that it's a 1-6 inches flooring that they have for the cover and when I walk on this cover it looks like it was already soft because as I step on it, it break. Watch my foot - I just got a surgery in last year. Look at the big cut from my surgery last year - I am just recovering from this. Now i have to go and lay down for another two months to recover from this. I am just shock that the city council would actually put this piece of board here. Why would they put this little piece of board for a man-hole
cover? We can't it be iron like this other one here? If they are not willing to do anything then that is that too, but I just want them to see the piece of board and see what kind of jobs they are doing on the streets. If they want - we can build this for them because we have a construction company too."
We should note that Collymore recently had ankle surgery and the fall only re-aggravated his condition….
