Dear Editor

I would like to address the news within our community that seems to be ignored by many. The homeless and the damage they cause to our businesses is unacceptable. Over the weekend we had a rock thrown through the front door of our business destroying the glass door. This will cost thousands of dollars to repair. In the past we have had to build a multi hundred dollar fence around the back portion of our building to prevent homeless people from building fires up against the building because law enforcement can't seem to stop them.

We have spent a ton of money on crimes that go unpunished! They get arrested and the next day they are back on the street. Our DA is totally ineffective and for some unknown reason will not charge these repeat offenders.

Please help me get this message out to someone who can make a difference and make our community a safer place for all.
