It has always been my belief that tough times (as our governor so readily admits we're facing), brings-out the very best, and the very worst in leaders. I commend Don Samuels for both his personal and professional dedication to what SHOULD be viewed as a very serious issues in our State, crime, gangs and poverty.
My analogy for the action thus far (from the State) on this issue is similar to the action of the "leaders" (the crew responsible) when the passenger vessel M/V Andrea Doris was sinking some thirty-five years ago. The got their butts in life perservers and off the ship first and said "to hell" with the passengers. Hardly the leadership we need at this juncture.
