Crime rate goes up.
Dear Editor
FBI records just came out and show that the crime rate went up 2.5% in 2005, the first time in 15 years. What is the administration doing about it? They are calling for 52% cuts of the COPS program, (local law enforcement programs), and it’s the 4th year in a row of cuts. Now they are calling for 76% cuts in the 2007 budget and they have eliminated ALL funding for hiring. Why has crime gone up? Crime goes up when poverty goes up, and we now have less police to deal with the situation.
