- Subdivision - Jackson Says Thanks - United Water - Zoning - Legion Responds - Kolbe Supported Subdivision Editor, Times-Union: Government officials wonder why the public doesn't get involved on issues.Well, one reason we can tell you from personal experience is because it is totally frustrating to have serious concerns and voice your opinions to only get a temporary pacification. Let us be more specific.Last fall we were notified of the request to have the neighboring 10 acres of land rezoned for the purpose of a housing addition.Twenty neighboring farmers and landowners showed up at the hearings to voice their concerns.

- Police Chases - Vanlaningham Scholarship - Senior ESP Police Chases Editor, Times-Union: After reading the article in Monday's paper about the police chase and subsequent crash, I thought it painfully ironic that it has been 10 years to the month that my son was killed in a similar police chase.Fortunately in Monday's accident, the unsuspecting residents only lost a house and the officer sustained only minor injuries. I am not condoning what the cyclist or my son did, fleeing police.But with all of the modern technology (computers, video cameras, etc.) that police departments have at their disposal, shouldn't they consider changing their chase procedures? I question if these chases are really necessary ...just food for thought.

- Get Tough On Crime - The American People Get Tough On Crime Editor, Times-Union: In the FBI annual crime reports, they define violent crime as murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assaults. Violent criminals are only serving one-third of their sentences in many cases.On average: 7.7 years for murder; 4.6 years for rape; 3.3 years for robbery; and 1.9 years for aggravated assault. Bill Clinton and Janet Reno should spend more time on getting tough on crime and less time trying to chip away at law abiding citizens' right to keep and bear arms. The University of Chicago concluded a study "Allowing Law Abiding Citizens to Carry Concealed Weapons Deters Violent Crime."All the laws in the world will not work unless they are enforced.
