It's hard to think of a clearer encapsulation of our current "leadership's" priorities than to have the Mayor gooning over some whiz-bang electric socket rather then voting on closing two police precincts.

But we have money for a new minor league baseball stadium! I heard the Beavers attracted almost 800 people last game. Wow. Certainly worthy of a $80 million investment in a new facility.

This town if f**king doomed. You brainless kids move here, vote for a bunch of pie-in-sky nonsense, while we cutt services like the police and road maintenance. You pay for next to nothing because you don't pay property taxes. Then you'll pick up and leave once you've turned the city into a hopeless gordian knot of snarled infrastrucutre and debt obligations. But hey, the house parties were awesome. And we got a new electric socket downtown!

They're not 'lost' they will be used for training and other operations. The number of officers on patrol is not changing.

I certainly feel North Tabor's concern with response times, what with being almost 25 blocks from Central Precinct.

I wonder what response will be like out in Kenton.

Since when did response times depend on how close you are to the precinct? That's the whole point of having officers on patrol, they can get anywhere quickly, where their homebase is is irrelevant...

Response times in Kenton will be about the same as they are now, (NE is Killingsworth and MLK, N is St Johns.) The question is, what will be the response times in Linnton?
