Wanted to watch that Silly Council rerun tonight ,there was some nonsense going on with spending more TAX$$ on downtown studies, but think this deserves more immediate attention...
"...After working for years with police and this administration, I can say firsthand community policing works. Crime is down. The crimes that happen are lower-level...."
course, the author of this apple-polishing?...
John Weaver, advocate, Coronado/Haskell neighborhood, Rockford
yup,THAT John Weaver with his wife toted "Batman/Robin" signs to Council in support of LarryBoyChiefChet short-staffing policing...
And the reason was a personalized security presence,a security camera to monitor their neighborhood,etc. Sure, THOSE few blocks can claim "...Crime is down..." but who in the Sam Hill do they explain THIS???
"ROCKFORD — Police are investigating two apparently unrelated homicides that occurred early and late Sunday...."
Well,wasn't in their backyard, EVERYTHING IS EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly until people quit acting like animals, crime will continue to exist. Even more alarming is the impending reality of our community. If we aren't able to bring our unemployment down, address crime accross the entire city and make it a place that people actually want to be, it's only going to get worse. While we may be sick of the endless "studies" on downtown, we should be more annoyed with the continued federal funding for these countless studies which serve no other apparent purpose than to occupy a shelf. As for excellence, the City does have employees who are intelligent, resourceful and have the experience that could lend itself to providing solutions which are effective and meaningful for our community. Unfortunately, low morale, extremely heavy workloads and the fear of reprimand for trying to make a sustainable difference has caused many employees to simply put themselves on "automatic" and stay under the radar as much as possible. It's a sad day when viable solutions exist, but are never realized.
