Frederick should take on sidewalk repairs

In the grand scheme of things, this is a relatively minor issue, generally more an annoyance than a serious problem facing local government. It is not comparable to the need for good schools with good teachers to educate our children. It is not like the need for a well-trained police force to protect us from crime. But the humble sidewalk — when it is a broken, uneven and dangerous mess in need of repair — can just rankle someone’s soul.
