With almost 30 murders already this year, 5 in just over two weeks, he seams to be completely out of touch with reality. And when he finally, after numerous complaints and criticisms from citizens, perhaps most prominently former Maryland Delegate Rushern Baker, steps up to combat crime, he plan is just plain terrible. Affordable housing is not a crime, but as you smartly noted, it is in serious danger in Prince George’s. <BR/><BR/>When Mr. Johnson is not getting his facts strait, I worry that he has alternative motives. Johnson has not even kept his campaign promise to significantly increase the police force. While hiring many new officers, he has lost nearly as many, while lowering budgets, resulting in a reduced police presence over all. Before kicking us from our homes, I hope that Mr. Johnson will first help me feel safe leaving mine.<BR/><BR/>I for one, am glad that Rushern Baker and other strong leaders like yourself have stepped up to prevent Mr. Johnson from taking the homes of our fellow county men and women from. Crime is a very serious problem in Prince George’s County and needs to be handled fairly and intelligently. It is time for Mr. Johnson to step up or get out.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, <BR/><BR/>Ticked in LanhamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
