Iven Cobbs: Make sure city council understands our priorities

I’m sure we can all agree that crime, drugs and homelessness have gotten completely out of hand in this town, and it seems the city is doing very little to address these issues. Ignoring a problem is not a solution.

It’s time to take a serious look at what’s going on, and what can be done to improve our situation. Go to council meetings, call and email the city council and let them know that these issues are a priority for us, and they need to be a priority for them, too.

Iven Cobbs, Modesto
