The "In the Know" section of the paper today said there's a lack of questions. Maybe writing to him will bring some answers out?! or at least the get the idea going for dodge. He wrote "So, if you like the feature and want to see it stick around, be sure to fire those questions off to answers@dodgeglobe.com"

I have not seen a copy of the Garden City ordinance so I would hate to comment on what effect this will have. Any mandatory sentencing guidelines that require jail time for non violent offenses would require facilities that we currently do not have. I would want to explore what impact any ordinance change would place on the limited jail space and limited tax resources. If it made sense to implement a change then the process would typically come from the staff level with a recommended ordinance and public hearing and vote on whether or not to adopt the ordinance. You would have an opportunity to comment at the public hearing. As of this time the current state law is what is enforced.


Thanks



Rick Sowers

That is total B.S. I know Sowers, and he has some of the dumbest ideas about illegals and alot of other issues too. I wanted to say he is ultra liberal, but he is way left of even Wordy. To hell with worrying about jail space. Just confiscate the perp's vehicle! It's simple. No insurance? No license? No car!

So what Sowers is saying is that we cant arrest that many people partly because we dont have the jail space to house that many people....that is ridiculous. Jails within a certain area transport overflow to each other.

And the rest he said is a load of crap.

Mr. Lembright replys

Thank you for your letter. To answer your questions: yes, I do believe an ordinance such as GC passed would make the streets safer. And yes, it is possible here. As for obstacles, they would be the same as GC faced. That being the "targeting of minorities".

I'm sure this will be discussed at an upcoming meeting.

Thanks again for your interest.

Jim Lembright

I've sent quite a few there as well, and nothing has become of it.
