From Kamal -
One of the biggest concerns I have continues to be the safety of our communities. Law enforcement continues to be bound by poor legislation. We have to change this in order to support them and allow them to do their jobs. Our beautiful city is seeing a rise in crime as criminals are emboldened by a lack of consequence. If we don't get this under control, I fear we will see things continue to get worse. We must restore authority to our first responders.
Another area of great concern is our school systems. The function of our educational system should be to educate our children and nurture a love of reading, an aptitude for writing, and understanding of the sciences and an ability to manage their personal finances. Beyond that, it is the family's responsibility to teach children kindness, respect and community.
