So please subtract about $2400/year from that 7K false equivalency. And for the coup de gras---this is NOT Illinois.

I agree with about 90%. I would rather have perennial plants in the round-abouts. Also, I would rather have the money for community watch used for more REAL Police and more neighborhood cameras. Personally, I don't believe that the community watch is effective at all. My house was burglarized about 7 years ago when I was away. And I read about many such a crimes happening daily on NewsBreak.
