Originally posted by x80 BCM Thank you very much for your prompt response, I look forward to asking more questions in the future. I do think that there are ways to help the people that have made mistakes feel better about themselves and hopefully make them better people in the longrun "Lock them up and throw away the key" is not always the answer. Some of the people who go to jail lack the basic skills needed to live productive lives. Programming makes sense. We can’t expect a criminal with no social skills or work experience to be released back into the community without some kind of programming. They are going to go right back to what they where doing before they got locked up, this just increases cost to the tax payers. Integrity

I agree with you x80, Cass is having allot of trouble with that service. The tax payers over there are not happy with them. Integrity

BCM it sounds like Mr. Balk has some very sound ideas about running the department. His answers have a very proactive approach to reducing crime by reducing recidivism. I am interested to see what the other candidates have to say about this topic. Integrity

Originally posted by joegraber App. You cause me much trouble. I read the stuff you've written here, and I find it to be pretty credible. However (regarding Curtis Allen), I just can't bring myself to believe that anyone could be that stupid or that arrogant. So, I'm mixed up right now. Joe Joe I’m sorry if I cause you trouble. First let me say that I would not print anything that I could not prove. So let’s give credit where credit is due and say that Curtis is both arrogant and stupid for doing that. Integrity

I've noticed that Allen has nothing about fighting crime, lowering crime or anything resembling that in any of his campaign literature. Seems like a remarkable oversight to me. Joe This question was copied and pasted form the signs forum. How does the Balk camp plan on fighting or lowering crime? What changes will Brad bring to the department that is different from the current administration? Integrity
