[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people don't like what's happening in the city, it's important to write to your Councilmember, as well as all the at-large Councilmembers including the chair (the at-large councilmembers and council chair represent the whole city). Politely tell them how you feel and ask for them to address the problem. Even write to your ANC rep. If enough people push our elected officials to take crime seriously, it’s possible we’ll actually see some progress in that direction. We’ve recently seen the Council reverse course on school resource officers (police) in schools. In 2021 the Council voted unanimously to remove the officers. In 2022, they voted 8-5 in favor of removing the officers. This month, they decided to keep them. Public pressure can work.[/quote] Twice this year I’ve email CM Frumin and my very progressive ANC rep about the increase in property and violent crime in our once sleepy neighborhood. Total crickets in response. These are not serious people. [/quote] You would stand a better chance of a response if the crime was pickleball related. That’s one of his priorities. [/quote] His first proposed legislation was the Old People Are Cool Act. I thought it was a joke when a friend told me. [/quote]
