Mayor Baker Carves ANOTHER Notch on His Belt - When will he tackle guns and make our streets safe for children?

By Elizabeth Scheinberg

Yes, this is usually a mantra you'd read on Transparentchristina.wordpress.org. I'm taking a play from their playbook and the question stands: When will Mayor Baker dedicate the necessary resources to make Wimington's streets safe for children?

Larry J.A. Parks III was fatally shot in the chest shortly before 4 p.m. in the 300 block of New Castle Ave., where Wilmington police officers found him lying in the street.

Mr. Parks' deaths marks the THIRD homicide in Wilmington this year - that's an average of 1 per week. It's still January! It's nothing short of criminal that the Mayor has failed to deploy the resources to tackle the issue of violence in the City. He's failed to make the streets safe for our children.

Rest Peacefully, Mr. Parks. From what I've read, you will be deeply missed by your family, your peers, and your teachers.

Mayor - It's time to get to work!
