where is the Mayor, who is actually the public safety commissioner, in all of this. Perhaps crime is not happening in Lincoln, where he spends his days tending to his "interests", but crime has been on the rise for the past few years and nothing seems to be happening to combat it. Where is the Council President in all of this. We need a change in this city NOW!
