The proposed City cuts include police services — what will you do when there is no one to come when you need them? Car accident, someone breaking into your home, even someone being killed. How about when your neighbors are loud, or don’t cut their weeds?

It means cuts in fire services — what will you do when there is no fire truck available to come to your home when your fire alarm goes off and you see and smell smoke? when your children are stuck upstairs, and the flames are seen in the downstairs windows?

It means cuts in public transportation — how will many individuals who either don’t or cannot drive get into work? get to the grocery store? make it to their physician appointments?

It means cuts to public parks and pools. You don’t go to the parks? You don’t visit the pools? How about when there is no one to cut the grass at the parks? How about when the buildings are boarded up? How about when the graffiti starts, and no one is there to replace it? What happsns if it is gang graffiti? What happens if the gangs begin fighting over the deserted space? What happens if a murder occurs in yoru neighborhood, across the street from your house. . . Oh year, there will not be a police officer available to come out when that happens.

Who needs 2C? You need 2C!! If 2C doesn’t pass, the police force will be at a level when we had about 70,000 less citizens? You want to live in a ghetto? You want the crime rate to increase exponentially? You want your neighborhood to become a slum? Vote against 2C. It will just be a matter of time.

I just hope the proponents of 2C are working as hard out east and down south as they are on the westside and downtown.
