Kudos to the men and women on the front lines of public safety in our community for endorsing downtown safety cameras.

Gary Kespohl is tough on crimeWe must keep our families and our neighbors safe from crime. I firmly support downtown safety cameras; my opponent voted against them. I say we need more officers on the street; my opponent voted to spend public resources to hire a city Sustainability Director and to earmark $100,000 for his special little projects. While my opponent was voting for city chicken coops and more bike-lane extravagance, there were almost 3,000 police calls to Ward 3’s Whitegate area alone since January 1, 2009. When it comes to keeping our neighborhoods safe, I stand with our cops in crime fighting.

What do you think would make Columbia a safer community?
