... he said all had been sent clear of snow.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg blamed the public poor relief, but he said all had been sent clear of snow.

The blue part sounds strange to me. Is the part correct? I'd say:

... he said all had been sent to clear snow.

What do you think?

The sentence is garbled. It's not possible to guess what was intended.

Kadio, I looked at the link, and it's full of mistakes. It's not a reliable site for studying English.

The sentence you asked about is the worst. Goes is right, it makes no sense.

The phrase public poor relief baffles you before the part you are asking.
