These political compaigns are getting to me. If all these people running can only point out their opponents shortcomings and not what they plan to do; how are we as voters supposed to make an informed choice?
The Guardian Angels debate is heating up so I'll chime in on that again. After a little reserch I have learned a couple things-they come and access the problem first. Wouldn't it make some of you happy if the said crime wasn't bad enough here for them to come in? Then they address issues with city leaders and ask them to sign a waiver. If everything goes fine to this point they recruit local people, and train them before anyone sets foot on the street. As for the cost, I don't know. As to the voluteer police program already in use, if crime is as high as the figures show, it isn't working. So mellow out people, they're not going to parachute in with guns blazing.
Low income has become an 800 pound gorilla lately also. I have nothing against the poor. I do have a problem when the greatest country in the world condones it. The government basically hands people money for doing nothing, and with almost no restrictions. They certainly have few responsibilities. Instead make them finish school. Make them show that they are being good parents. And if one of their kids drops out of school, drop their money.
The halfway house at 605 Main has been crumbling for a while so I say let Palmer have it and let them make it a parking lot. While I'm sure many would disagree, I feel this kind of facility is part of the revolving door problem.
