LoriG: Should the river trail just be closed down?

LoriG: Seems like the AB109 and Prop 47 felons have won.

Sheriff_Tom: never give up

drmaria: Sheriff!! Yes! Never Give Up!! Way to be Winston Churchill about it!!

SYSTEM: Please welcome LoriG who just joined the chat.

LoriG: I would prefer to never give up but there simply are not enough resources to keep the river trail safe so closing them makes the most sense. These felons are becoming more and more bold and Jerry Brown is giving us many more soon.

drmaria: So we should close our Country because of Terrorism....too. Sorry not trying to be sarcastic - just don't understand the logic.

ProducerBadBob: Axe handles...

LoriG: Until the police resources are increased, it just isn't safe. Many people have already given up on using it.

ProducerBadBob: testing

drmaria: test good

LoriG: I am just trying to point out that we have reached the tipping point.

SYSTEM: Please welcome ProducerBadBob who just joined the chat.

ProducerBadBob: screen froze z;9

ProducerBadBob: :(

SoWhat: so the only solution is more of the tax payer money ? Tom, we need answers that do not involve just more money from tax payers

drmaria: BB: you are good now

LoriG: How do you put more police bodies on patrol without funding to pay them?

Carl: test

drmaria: test good Carl

LoriG: We all need to have situational awareness of course. Still, we are outnumbered by the convicts and felons.

SYSTEM: Please welcome Carl who just joined the chat.

ProducerBadBob: Well boils down to what do you give up? Its easy to say cut all pay for managers to minimum wage but even if you fired every manager...not a great solution, someone needs to supervise...that's not a big enough drop in the bucket.

SYSTEM: Please welcome gary who just joined the chat.

gary: so the ONLY answer is be aware and give us more money with the tax increase ?

ProducerBadBob: Again what do you want to give up in favor of more LEO's?

ProducerBadBob: shut down the library?

ProducerBadBob: stop cleaning streets?

SYSTEM: Guest just signed off.

drmaria: BB: Yes, same thing we do in our own home budgets - cut back in some non essential areas for a time being...then bring those services back when we can. I guess that could be part of the solution...

ProducerBadBob: Someone's ox gets gored. I heard about the amount that gets spent on the Community Health Care (The Free Stuff) program, it's enough to pay for all the officers we need...you can bet THAT isn't gonna be touched.

drmaria: Very Cool!!
