    When will the council members and the mayor address this issue, we cannot be talking about quality of life when there is a daily shooting.
    Tax payers need an explanation, this is not good, innocent hard working people will eventually get catch up in this stupidity.

    Members instead of the infighting that you have during the meeting , there is a pressing issue that must be address.

    Maybe the city needs to seek outside help.

      This is going to take a while Miss Jamaica, at least he is trying more than i can say for the former Mayors.

      Unfortunately, Local government and law enforcement can't do it alone. Sadly, gangs and drug violence stem from and urban mindset issue. Too many of our youth are dying and killing each other over property that is not theirs.
