you libs need to pass a few more gun laws, they seem to work so well.
As a dark cloud looms over the City of Lamar you have to hope and pray that the white cloud saves us all. So get out to vote it’s the only way to make change in this City.
High density housing in that area behind Lowe’s all the way east to L Street is an area to avoid and a no go zone after dark. Not unusual to see multiple marked police vehicles parked on Sycamore each one on a separate call. Will mayor drag out his podium again at sycamore square again?
How many police officers is department still short was 70 with only 44 or so officers to provide 24/7 coverage far a city of 117,600? How much are overtime costs in police department?
Just think how bad Sycamore would be without Lamar’s help with cleaning it up,
