Letter to the Editor | Vote YES for Onrus-Vermont SRA!

Writer: D Stevens, Vermont.

I would like to urge everyone to vote for the Onrus-Vermont SRA. I have lived in a high crime area before, and I have seen the results of a Special Rating Area firsthand. The crime rate dropped to near zero and any potential crime was dealt with swiftly.

You might think that we have a low crime rate now and that we do not need it at present – most people have the attitude of ‘I am OK, Jack’ because I have not had a break in yet. Or I am OK because I live in a security complex. Come on, people, that is not in the spirit of standing together as a community, is it? How high do you want the crime rate to be before serious action must be taken? I think a couple of armed robberies as we have had in the Vermont and Onrus area is enough cause for serious concern and action!
