Crimewatch happenings
Be careful out there peeps...rival gangs are targeting one another with drive by shootings and chases. There seems to be a daily event, last one the other day on the Northeast side of the City. Articles in the E-prise. This all proves that we need A LOT more cops, but until then, bring in more troopers.
All the drug raids must be related to these dirtbags in our City. Hopefully Darwin's theory of natural selection will prevail.

I think this area now has more issues than a Casino.

At least three people were stabbed during a melee at a Brockton park that involved nearly 100 youths Wednesday evening.
Edgar's - one child passed away.

More resources there as Mayor said, means north side gets fewer..not fair. I pay just as much in taxes.

The bad guys hardly ever hang around a decent place. They hang with the scum in slum cities where they know they can get away with crime. Doesn't say much fro us, does it?
Drug test the welfare recipients and I can guarantee you, we will clean up a great portion of this city. Toss them in jail for fraud and make them pay back what they've stolen. We're paying for them anyhow, but at least I'd know they weren't enjoying my tax dollars and living better than me on it.
If the Casino does make it, we HAVE to clean the city up because people won't venture any further than the casino due to the reputation.

I've been a part in cleaning up these parks for years and for what? That should originally have been done by the park commission, the same as emptying of barrels.
Marching and cleaning up is useless. Put the convicts to use and save our backs and tax money.

Now compare the total FY 2015 budgets of Lowell – $333,987,477 – and New Bedford – $274, 163,395 – to Brockton’s – $353,781,356. Lowell spends about 7.4 percent of its total budget on its police department. New Bedford, which saw declines in burglaries, larcenies and a whopping 35 percent decline in shooting-related calls last year and the addition of 18 cops – spends 8.5 percent of its budget on police. But Brockton, similar in size and scope, but with significantly more revenue than both, allocates just 5.8 percent of its total budget to its police department. The results of such underfunding are clear.
SMH: Those cities use less money and have more cops...does not add up. As embarrassing as crime, its embarrassing we obviously can't budget in the City.

We may have a great bond rating Mr Condon, but we have gangs shooting up the city. Sorry you can't see this from Bridgewater!

If the city were perceived as safe, we would be able to get more homeowners and increase revenue.
If the city isn't perceived as safe... Then the Casino is going to be a sewer.
I've said it for at least 13 years, the Police Department should be the highest priority of the Mayor and all the City Counselors.

@Capn, I'm certainly not a Condon apologist but everything he proposes has to be agreed to by the Mayor and the City Council.
