Crimes on the rise in Wyoming

naw, do you really think so

CCW. That would solve a lot of problems with criminals carrying firearms.

Not to mention the ever-growing grafitti. Check out the "M.O.B" grafitti near Jaycee Park again. Glad they didn't re-tag Rite Aid. That was there for weeks, wasn't it?

There were cutbacks in the Police and Fire Departments, so we have less professionals out there. It's up the community to be watching in their neighborhoods; get descriptions, license numbers, make and color of cars or trucks, etc.

This will help with the crimes sprees. We all have to be on the lookout for anything that seems out of the ordinary.

I lived in Wyoming for 27 years. I moved out of the area only 8 months ago. I can not believe the amount of crime in the neighborhoods. It is not only wyoming, but crime is on the rise everywhere. I only hope that the citizens stand up for their neighborhoods.

All this will do is allow Wyoming more federal money to hire more officers and make tax payers mad. It's like I told people 2 years ago, it will come down to " well, what's it going to be folks, your money or your life?" Also, your money, or the damage to your car from the roads we aren't fixing? The real problem rests on the justice system and our government. They aren't making punishment harsh enough for criminals. Our government should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this and placing the burden on the tax payers.

The best way to stand up for your neighborhoods is to get a CCW permit and protect yourself and your house.

We can thank Jenny for our economy the way it is (Good job everyone that voted for her!) The crime is not going to get better for some time I believe. That is no reason to rob and steal. Scum is scum they don't need a reason.

Not to mention teaching your children about firearm safety. Start them off early and they will know for a lifetime.

1)Wyoming can spend nearly 100 million dollars on water supply improvements - but they can't find the $750,000 per year to restore the fire department and they can't find the $350,000 to restore to the police department.

2) All the city vehicles also need to be put under lock and key. Multiple employees are taking advantage of these vehicles and city paid gas.

3) The inspections department needs to crack down as well and get after all these rental houses that make the town look like garbage. Several in our neighborhood off of Clyde Park have not been inspected in years.

4) We warned the city of Wyoming that their new city hall, new police station, and extravagent park expenses would catch up with them. Some lack of budgeting never accounted for the fact that these buildings with lots of wasted space such as the police station costs more for maintenance.

5) Wyoming's Zoning Department is anti-business and is more concerned with adding more rules and enforcing existing ones - That is why companies like Nelson Metals went out of business. Look at all the fuss they created over the thrift store on 36th Street. They asked for neighbor's opinions and failed to record several that were submitted.

6) A survey needs to be released neighborhood by neighborhood in Wyoming detailing owner housing versus rental housing - Property exemptions need to be removed for rental housing - something that is not being reinforced.

7) Wyoming has tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid court fees that would result in being able to add officers and fire personnel.

8) Wyoming's center of the road gardening and expensive sprinkler system needs to be cut out. What does that cost anyways?

9) Public Works leaf and rubbish drop-off sight is abused by landscapers with multiple drop-offs dumping the cost onto the city. This was supposed to be for the general public, not to support our landscapers.

10) Why does Wyoming use a company in OHIO to collect their utility payments? Tell me - can no one really do that locally for less?

11) Wyoming had an option to get a bigger share of Rivertown Mall to expand the tax base and blew it big time.

12) Wyoming auctioned off the spare land along Gezon way too quickly allowing others to get rich at the expense of the city. Those private buyers who held onto the land are now selling it to medical providers for a mint.

13) Wyoming has a huge printing budget - with the Wyoming quarterly brochure with a letter from the mayor. Have you heard of email and electronically opting out of these expensive and wasterful mailings? 72,000

14)$200,000 for the cable tv commission? Where is this money going? Places like AT&T and other cable companies are killing each other for business. Can we say deregulation?

15)$457.000 rental per year for the court system? Why didn't the city have this built into the new city hall or police station?

16)Every budget of city department shows thousands and tens of thousands of dollars in equipment rental fees - what is this and why are we doing it

SPEND SOME TIME LOOKING AT THE BUDGET AND THE MONEY CAN BE FOUND.

14) City sidewalk plow? HUH? I grew up in Chicago and in the Blizzard Zone out west - never had it never needed it

15) Almost 5% of the city's budget is for debt and financing - it is time to refinance that while interest rates are low.

Yeah, let's all carry, both legally and illegally. Then we can have a full-scale shootout on the streets western style. What were you smoking?

CCW...It would be better of you to just be THOUGHT a fool than to open your mouth or use your keyboard and remove all doubt! Good grief!

People....an ARMED society is a POLITE society!

Kepp the criminals guessing if YOU are the one who is going to blow them to H***....Carry a weapon. It is your RIGHT and RESPONSIBILITY!

Well thats not the issue. Crimnals are forcing there way into house so your point is not valid

]The best way to stand up for your neighborhoods is to get a CCW permit and protect yourself and your house.
if we all carrying weapons legal or illegal around very time we go out. this country will be like Iraq would it? we needs to look out for our children, our neighbors, and our community. set up a neighborhood crimes fighter or something that would try to eliminates much crimes as we can. If we're all stand up together and fight crimes, we are alots better off than carry a weapon around, we are not criminal.

2 kids rob a store and the WHOLE CITY/state is TERRIFIED of hispanics/minorities(choose race).
NICE and FUNNY.
maybe you all SHOULD STOP watching the NEWS so much.
public HISTERIA IS how WE got into IRAQ
SCARED OF people who fight with ROCKS now that all OUR TAX money IS being SENT
over there YOU'RE COMPAINING.

what do you mean by "carry a weapon, it is your right and responsibility.? what law saying carrying a weapon around comunity is your responsibility? this is not the way to solve the problems in our community.

i am willing to bet that if you get rid of a certain color of people from the area you would get rid of the majority of problems :D

I live in Wyoming. I absolutely agree. Wyoming used to be a nice place to raise a family. Now we don't even let our kids ride their bikes up and down the block because we are afraid some thug, whose parents don't give a rip, are going to give them trouble. Hope our mayor and city council are reading these comments.

That's just wrong. I assume you mean either blacks or hispanics. Well white people aren't any different. There is nothing wrong with people of any color trying to make a decent living for themselves. You can't blame an entire race for the behavior of a few.
