HERE'S THE PICTURE!

Crime rate falls until after Don takes over.

Here is what the picture looks like had We Kept a Police Chief in the Police Department.

Instead of letting a Convicted Felon who hates Police run our City Police Department.

Projected based on prior trend.
Year	Crimes
2004	7466
2005	6719
2006	6047
2007	5443

Our crime rate could have been well within the national average.

Thanks DON!
