Hopefully its a Sign of the Times.

One can't be to sure, but!

It seems the amount of Criminal Activity in NE Salem (Mexalem) has declined in the last few weeks. Police activity is extra slow and the newspaper has an abundance of unused ink!

This gives me reason to think this change might well be the result of the OFIR's recent posting of a Billboard on Lancaster Ave. NE.

Up till that time the Hispanic (Drug Seller) Gang Fights were running hard and fast, even though the rainy season was well upon us.

I guess the only way we can confirm this is to audit the Police and DA's over-time budget.

As for now it looks some PERS folks might be in for a short Christmas Gift budget.
