"Many residents probably don\u2019t want to think about winter right now, but local communities are already preparing for the cold season.West Allis Mayor Dan Devine signed a resolution to purchase 12,000 tons of road salt Monday.The price of the salt has increased about $8 from last year.Devine said he is buying more salt this year and preparing for a worst-case scenario after last winter.\u201CIt was partly because of last winter was so harsh and so expensive,\u201D Devine said. \u201CNot only in salt usage, but in road repair and water main breaks and those kinds of things, if we have another one like that we want to be ready.\u201DDevine said the city has virtually no salt left over from last year."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
