Eugene Crime Rate Rises Again

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: EUGENE'S CRIME RATE CONTINUES TO RISE!!!!

Mayor/City Manager:

Eugene once again makes headlines on our increased crime rates only now for the first half of 2009. Any thoughts on what they will look like after the close of 2009? While your committees and Council including each of you enjoy lavish meals at a reported cost of $200,000 per year from the taxpayers our crime rates continue to climb. Is it true that the deployment of that $200,000 to the public safety sector would mean two more officers for Chief Kerns to use to reduce crime? Yes, it is only a stipend but it is a start. We think if you collectively put your minds to it you could find much bigger amounts to deploy to Chief Kerns. We challenge you to do so.
