It was late January when Ramsey was last here at Lincoln H.S. auditorium. 6 months later, he's back. That's a good sign, IMO.
I think at the 1st meeting in Jan., the meeting was a bit out of hand with random people telling their personal stories of car parking, dog crap, etc. Hopefully, this time around, there is more structure and pertinent crime issues in the NE are addressed and discussed.

Maybe some of the community leaders could get together and work out some sort of structure.
