Good news!

It seems we have a . . . Decrease of the Increase!

Having tracked the increase of Crime and Violence in the Salem area for quite some years, and in that noting how that change has specifically involved people with Hispanic names, I can now attest that since the OFIR Billboard appeared on Lancaster Dr. in NE Salem, there has been a discernable "decrease" in what previously had been a constantly growing problem.

If you want proof you only need to track the reduced number of Hispanic names being lodged in the Marion County Jail. http://sheriff.co.marion.or.us/lists/indexbookings.asp

Yes, changes in weather and seasonal circumstances have been considered.

The problem is not solved by any means. However, I am confident we can do more to solve it with more like Billboards.

Thanks again OFIR, we needed that.
