The ongoing debate over what is an appropriate level of security at the Public Safety Building continued this week as aldermen decided against moving up a special meeting
Perhaps even more interesting, are the remarks in the Comments section from Mr. Wise, an apparent Mayoral Candidate for 2013

What can happen will happen. How right you are Ald. Racz. Regarding the incident at the courthouse, it was not until after it had occurred that, luckily, it was prevented from getting any worse than it did. The security measures that you seek for the PSB will not prevent an incident from occurring, it will merely record it as it is happening. There are serious security issues throughout the entire PSB but, these issues can wait for another time.
There are far more important issues for you and your fellow aldermen to tend to. The communities industrial base is crumbling, businesses are threatened with closure, tax revenues continue to decline and personal hardships abound.
I would ask that you and your fellow aldermen explain to your constituents why it is that camera's for the PSB, gifts for sister city officials and fireworks are more important to the council than doing something that would prevent a complete collapse of the local economy is.
