See Channel four online for Gary Nelson's, (a Palmetto Bay resident), 11/14/2011, report that Palmetto Bay has seen 165 burglaries so far this year, an increase of 40 percent over last year.
“We are experiencing an uptick in burglaries, as are most communities,” said Village spokesman Bill Kress. “While we have had more than 160 so far this year, when you compare it to some comparably-sized towns, they may have that many in a month.

ReplyDeleteGene,
ReplyDeleteWhere was our transparent mayor Shelley Stanczk for the story? Inside rumor is that she disappeared when the call from channel 4 came into the municipal center looking for her to comment. It would have been appropriate for her to comment on air. It is more than transparent that she will run her own council members over to cut a ribbon, but she hides like a coward when the there is a threat of bad publicity. She can't take the heat. It wasn't even a harsh story.
The insider
What is current mayor Shelley Stanczk doing about the crime situation?
