Letter: Show criminals the way out

The Columbian

Published: January 28, 2013, 4:00pm

For the past several years, a major reason that has been stated against light rail is that the rail system will bring more crime to our quiet community of Clark County.

Well, have you seen the headlines these past months? Most of our crime is home-grown.

When we build light rail, at a more cost-effective time, maybe the bad people in Clark County will use the rail to leave our “quiet community.”
