Sad. These two guys aren’t old enough to buy alcohol but one guys life is over and one may be for the rest of his life. It’s sad to read about two young folks in this situation. Crime continues to be rising especially with the economy and the holiday season coming up.
Our newly elected governor has plans to cut 1Billion dollars (1,000,000,000) from law enforcement budgets across the state. There is and article in the edition on this. How will this effect local law enforcement?
Lock your car and house doors. Pay attention to your surroundings while in parking lots while shopping.
