ors fixed-route sys-

The WANT squad and
anti-burglary unit are
important and useful
units. Should seek out
the small drug push-
ers as well as the
large dealers.
Garbage pick-up is as
good as can be ex-
pected without a tax
increase. Snow re-
moval needs to be
improved. Fix pot
holes through general
obligation bonding or
federal money.
Inequitable for city
