ClassicalLib17,
It might or might not be to late, but I'll tell you this, Chief Greathouse is making very difficult to fight crime. He's continuing to make very bad decisions but he's very good in hiding them and making himself look good. Our Mayor and Aldermen don't see what he's doing, all they see is that he may be saving the city very little money, but in return he's putting the public in danger. If you think it's bad now, just wait until the Chief and Mayor bring the city's police department down to only 130 officers. You tell me....do you think 130 police officers is enough to protect this city??? The police department is at 148 right now, which is down from 175 which it is approved for. You tell me if that is enough???? Most importantly ask Chief Greathouse and the Mayor if that's enough. Go to the next city cousel meeting and ask the question if 130 officers is enough to keep the tax payers safe. You see how it is now, just imagine. Ask yourself if the Mayor is doing everything to keep citizens in this city. When you get rid of your downtown officer and community policing department, ask yourself if the deputy that told the jurors that downtown Waukegan is not safe was really right???? See when the last time the police department was down to130 officers, because we just regressed to that era. Waukegan is not the "City of Progress" its the city of Regress!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck to all of you, and don't forget to load up your weapons and wear your bullet proof vests.
