Comptroller Darlene Green said she'd approve an emergency expenditure to get contractors to clear the streets before the city has its next deep freeze temperatures.

Emergency contracts have been approved to pay local contractors to assist with the city's efforts to treat road conditions after the heavy snowfall on the City of St. Louis last week.

More than a week after the big winter storm hit, the city of St. Louis is coming under fire for not treating side streets plowing areas where people’s homes are.
