Did anyone from this forum participate in the community meetings? I know a lot of people were interested in becoming activists for the cause. Remember the idea about the rally at the court house? revolving crime and get of jail free passes

I can understand that. Look how much trouble there was getting a new superintendent of schools. Its surprising that no one seems to have stepped forward though. I think it would be a great challenge for some qualified person.

Plenty of people want the job I'm sure. This is not an elected position however. The people being considered for the job are treated like any other job applicant in any other business situation - personal matters are private.

It must be really disheartening to continue to put your life on the line by arresting these thugs time and time again and for them to be back on the streets. What is the motivation to keep arresting them? Since so much light has been shed on these issues, I am hopeful that they will be corrected

I'm guessing there would be less crime if instead of a nite in jail, these thugs had to spend a day at the D.M.V. No beds, no meals, no seats!!! I think we'd have less second offenders.
