You are being deliberately disingenuous trying to link these issues with local crime and with the responsibilities of the Tucson Police. I have had my car been burglarized recently, in Midtown. The perpetrator was a local meth producer/user who was not a member of one of your "(G)angs on the prowl." The Tucson Police quickly and efficiently found the perpetrator. At no time did they complain that they were understaffed, and a bad guy is currently awaiting sentencing in Pima County Jail. Oh, and because I suspect you care, the perp was white. Referring to people who live on the south side as "the Browns" won't win you or the GOP many friends here. You can lock yourselves up in your gated prisons in the Foothills if you like, but the truth is, for an urban area, crime issues really are as under control as can be expected. Also, if your concern really is for our Hispanic community, why not try and move towards sustainable jobs in our town, instead of backing the interests of SAHBA and certain local car dealers. I guarantee that will decrease crime, even if Don Diamond and Jim Click shed a few tears. Mr. Ash,

It was about Beer Money at a County run facility. So blaming Nina and Karin for that is a very misinformed position. The GEM show has not left yet. NEWS Flash. As far as the Rio Nuevo waste, of the 100 million that is gone, 30 million went to private consultants and studies the Republican community demanded. And when deals fell apart, it was mostly because of greed. As far as all crime, just look at the statistics. Also TPD is managed about as well wall street.

The Police and Fire Budget comes from the general fund. You need to go to the budget table and wipe it clean then rebuild your budget based on revenues. What could be simpler. Tucson Vice,
You need to read State Law. The Police and Fire Budget comes from the general fund.

You need to go to the budget table and wipe it clean then rebuild your budget based on revenues.
What could be simpler.
