Building the new East Patrol and Crime Lab at 26th & Prospect was intended to decrease crime. We have seen gunshot victims disregard its presence and opt for Liquor Store security. It's pretty clear that we are not getting what we paid for or were led to believe about tearing down 24 acres of occupied houses. My fear is that we keep throwing good money after bad.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you expect it to be built? Rev. Modest Miles & the Morningstar Baptist Bunch, including Chief Forte', bought up all the houses for pennies on the dollar to be later sold for a premium. Same scam as Ollie Gates prior to Brush Creek & Cleaver II Blvd. being built. Grift all around.

ReplyDeleteAs long as decisions are made because of WHO wants something instead of WHAT the residents need, your fear is actually a sure thing.
And the East Patrol project can be held up as Exhibit A.
And since we're on that topic, how's Mike's new taxpayer-subsidized hotel coming?
Keep electing the same kind of folks who have no understanding or even interest in municipal public policy and even less regard for the taxpaying residents and the hits will just keep on coming.
A city that works.
Just not for you.
And today another child under 5 years old was murdered...
