Just need enough people to get "fed up" and vote the suckers out.. City and State..
It is the people that determine who their city government is composed of.. with the vote..
Likewise, it is the people and their vote that determines the composition of the state legislature..
If the people don't like the way the city/state is running things, get rid of them..
Put people in office that will do what needs to be done..
Democrats / Liberals understand this concept...
It's called "getting involved at the Local Level"..
They have used it in the past to great effect..
(granted, for the wrong reasons, but to great effect, nonetheless..)
Just remember, when looking for "more aggressive law enforcement", be careful..
You may just get what you asked for..
I agree but that takes an informed electorate and honest government.
