Please hurry
Be sure to charge the “driver” and their insurance with the cost to get this problem fixed
Will mike shaw say it worked until it didn’t?
Just a reminder. The name of the city is Washington, not Washington City. Why did you start calling it Washington City? You don’t call them St. George City or Hurricane City. The only nearby city with City in its name is Cedar City.
St. George News needs to do some research and print an article about the issue.
