What would you think about this candidate on these issues?

1) Curfew Laws due to status

-they send County police to our town to do the job and has been proven ineffective since its passage in 2002. It would be more useful for police to go after crimes against property which has increased since this passed.

2) Taxes

-lower taxes and look at ways to do that (e.g. since the Fire Department has merged with the County, let the county taxes pay for fire services)

and more. Of course I won't be qualified until 2012 to run (I'll be 22 then, and one must be 21 but City Council is on two year terms)

Update:

In 2002, the city passed a curfew law to those under 18 in order to reduce property crime. The opposite has taken place.

    Statistics show that most crime is committed by persons between 18 & 25, therefore the imposed curfew would have NO effect on crime. To bad your community didn't bother to research established crime rates and the demographics that commit them.

    What status?

    So far, I wouldn't vote for this candidate.
