Speaking of websites did anyone see the new City of Waukegan website?! <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.waukeganweb.net/">http://www.waukeganweb.net/</a><!-- m --> Big improvement. A little more inviting. The new mayor wouldn't have had time to do this yet so it must have been done under the old mayor. I'd like to see contact emails listed though. Residents should have that access and helps keep officals accountable if they have to communicate, respond to residents. Wkn Community Policing is now on Facebook. I emailed the lead person who gave me my Mom's ward contact. Had a good chat with him and a supervisor. We talked about crime vs perceived crime. Use the city site to find your ward police rep and report crime and suspicious activities. Form a neighborhood watch group. This kind of "guarding" your neighborhood and taking action to reduce crime will benefit all of Waukegan and that includes downtown. In general, Thank those who are making positive changes and offer your skills according to your interests rather than complaining. Or talk a friend into it if you have no time or feel lazy:-)
