My neighborhood is like a war zone again this year, in spite of the City government's proclamation of zero tolerance. I rode my bike to Sheridan Road and saw one unmarked unit at the corner of Grand and Sheridan, who then took off north on Sheridan. In case anyone is wondering where our police are, I have been informed that there is a grand total of 12 policemen on duty for one of the worst nights of the year. That boils down to 1.22 police per ward. Good going, Mayor Sabonjian and City council; keep up the good work. I hope all you proud Waukeganites invited your family and friends to Waukegan to enjoy our wonderful 4th of July. And just imagine, Alderman Needham thinks we need to think about spending precious taxpayer dollars to move all the railroad tracks down on the lakefront. Excuse me, I think I'm going to throw up now.
