From the Milford Daily News (Mass.):

– For too many years to recall, churches in town have been able to count on a kindness when the snow flies: Bellingham DPW plows would clear the church parking lots.
But this winter season, just in time for the holidays, the town has been forced to make a decidedly Grinch-like decision to end its charitable deeds when it comes to clearing the church lots during snowstorms.
“We will be curtailing that practice on the advice of (legal) counsel,” Town Administrator Denis Fraine announced at a Board of Selectmen’s meeting last night.
