Re: "Something is definitely amiss" 8-31-16

Scott, we read your editorial with interest.

We moved here 10 years ago. We chose this area for many reasons, safety of the community being one. That feeling of safety has slowly eroded.

The statistics the Mayor quoted are fine but they do not reflect how we feel.

We believe that drugs are the driving force for the growth in criminal activity.

In our opinion, lack of police action has allowed the drug problem to increase. The locations of many of the drug houses are known, but it appears that nothing is being done. If help from other agencies is needed, it should be requested.

As our house was being remodeled 10 years ago, a boxed heat pump visible from the street was left out for over a week. What would happen to that heat pump today?
