Yesterday we put up an article referencing your new Mayor Elect who stated he didn't want to talk about crime because it puts a bad light on the City of Salisbury. The numbers above speak for itself. Rather then facing the problem head on, Liberal Leadership would rather shame anyone for even coming close to REALITY or discussing it and guess what, the media does back away as shown below. Even IF crime is down in some areas, we all know most of it is not being reported. You simply get a case number to call your insurance company but there's no official investigation.

Jake Day said... Is crime one of them? "Absolutely not, and that will never be the message. So let’s eliminate that, and not talk about that, and talk about the good things".

Consider this. When you relocate to a community, do you not check out crime stats? Do you see how desperate Salisbury is by NOT investigating all crimes and instead giving out case numbers for insurance companies. By falsifying ALL crimes, Salisbury is misleading people interested in the area. Having a Mayor who refuses to discuss one of the, (if not the) biggest items a community must face is just wrong and many of our viewers firmly agree.

Salisbury News gets labeled as the Anti Christ because we are bold enough to tell the truth. We are not slaves to special interests and or MONEY. When crime does go down, (God willing) we will be first in line to give credit where credit is due. HOWEVER, we have been confronting the crime GROWTH for eleven years now and their answer, stop creating so many cases, send victims to insurance companies and boast about crime being down. I'm sorry but like you, I/We are not believers that crime is anywhere near down and certainly not enough that I/We believe Salisbury is a SAFE place to live, work or relocate both in business and residential.

So let's hear YOUR point of view on Mayor Elect Jake Day's views of not willing to discuss it, law enforcement only giving out case numbers and do you believe crime is actually down.
