Gang shootings up and down Portland's east side

First they're up in Peninsula Park in broad daylight, turning kids' summertime play into a scary evacuation and lockdown. Then last night, there's a gun battle at an apartment complex at 129th and Division. But don't worry, as soon as we get the bike share program up and running, our City Hall will get right on the gang issue. Maybe Nick "Jelly" Fish will "rebrand" it as "summer recreation."

It's because there isn't a Streetcar there.

Maybe Nick "Jelly Fish" should of thought of priorities before he voted to throw another $80 million into that Powell Butte Storage Tank Project. He needs to go back to NY where he came from and learn from Senator Schumer how to save some money and ask for relief from EPA LT2 for this community. He hasn't and apparently he won't.
What proportion of our budget has actually gone to gang enforcement? Citizens should not be afraid to venture out these days and evenings! Money for construction trumps all else in our city, even the safety of our citizens.
