I don't know what is stance on cameras is, but he definitely has been vocal
about dealing
with the social issues that plague our city. I don't know of anybody else in
our cities
government that has made a significant effort to publically deal with our
problems.
Dealing with them behind closed doors does nothing. Our city needs to be united
against
the crimes that hurt us, and we need a strong leader to take the helm, somebody
who's
name everybody in our city knows, that the media knows. At the moment, I don't
think we
have that person.
I think that there is a whole subculture in our city that could care less about
the laws that
govern it.
And once again, our new real estate will remain vacant until the public
perceives AP as a
safe place to live.
