Vandalism

12/9/2009
I have lived in Owensboro, Ky., since 1977.It is the most beautiful city that I have ever seen, in the good parts of town. It was a nice town and still is to a point. However My Honda scooter has been vandalized. They tried to steal it. Some of the youth is out of control. They love to break glass on the streets. I have seen vandalism go from 3 to 5 in a few short years. Traffic is a little hairy at times. They drive dangerously here. SUVS and Big Pickup trucks love to Tailgate. Even the elderly who should be our examples drive irresponsibly. I'm not saying all do, but too many do. It is extremely hard to get a job here. The city is very behind in fixing the streets. Pretty bad. Constant annoying roadwork. It seems like there is a totally blocked street everyday. Yet our Mayor Ron Payne is spending 80 Million to beautify the downtown which few care about. He put a $15,000 statue of a Buffalo here yet there are plenty of poor people and poor neighborhoods here that could have used that money. I hate to leave my home town but I would like to go to a town that is in control of itself with fewer people.
