A fast burning fuse has been lit that will soon explode unless you and I do something about it. Our families and children are exposed to increasing danger of gangs and drug related violence in our community. Lack of funding has cuffed law enforcement and is preventing them from defusing the threat.

Our friends in law enforcement have tried to be proactive for seven straight years by seeking essential funding to rid our town of unwanted gangs and drugs. For reasons I don't understand, they've been denied each time. It’s too late to take a proactive stance and now we have to be reactive, but together we can make this town safer and more desirable. Our current commissioners have an opportunity to help diminish the growing threat.

As Michael Renew posted, Monday March 16 commissioners will be presented with reasons to take the cuffs off law enforcement and defuse the threats.Hopefully, they won't ignore the problem and let it blow up on all of us.

Since the meeting is being held at 9:00 a.m., when most of registered voters are at work, you may not be able to make the meeting to voice your support for the safer future and community for our families.
