[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My CM is Charles Allen and I haven’t bothered to contact him because I feel like I would be wasting my breath. I’ll email Mendo though. I am actually contemplating leaving the city because I no longer feel safe.  [/quote]

[b]I think even someone like Charles Allen can be nudged in the right direction.[/b] Those members might not ever be great about crime, but they can be better. We've seen the Council reverse course and decide to keep school resource officers (including Allen, from what I can tell). There seems to be a similar movement in the right direction when it comes to the number of police (not enough movement, but better than a few years back). Did anyone watch Bowser when she went to Congress? Republican Rep. William Timmons told Bowser he met with Allen after Allen came to Congress, and they found some areas they could work together on to improve prosecution and issues with the homeless.

Also people should keep in mind that everyone in this city has six council members representing them. One ward council member, four at-large council members, and the chair of the council.[/quote]

No. Allen is a stubborn ideologue who is hellbent on legalizing ever more crime, whether directly or indirectly. Just look at his crime "reform" bill.[/quote]
