With revived neighborhood watch programs, and personal commitments to better know our neighbors and our community, I believe our village could weather a RIF, without turning The Beach in to a rampant crime area--while easing the tremendous burden now on taxpayers. We're not all union, or comfortable and stable in our jobs or financial positions. Also--every last one of them should live here. As you said, there are other police entities that patrol, and regularly respond in our neighborhoods, anyway--partly because of historically poor annexation issues. And THERE lies another possible solution for some of our woes--also, presently, a VERY unpopular suggestion at the table. To forcibly bring in those island hold-outs to annexation, who are surrounded by the village, and have them pay the same taxes as their neighbors do. The confusion and money the present arrangements have cost the village down through the years, are really unacceptable--yet no one wants to make the new voters mad and they would vote you out, next time, for bringing them in. Lousy excuse to justify forcing less people to shoulder more burden. It's like our present and past administration has worked to financially defend those who aren't our residents, rather than protect the ones that are. I just don't get it. OK, vote me out, next time, if you have to--but bring those people in--they already live here.
