You may remember madrch 3rd a near riot broke out at the jail. The documents we obtained show six days before that fight a memo was sent to the staff to abandon a safety policy u enacted in 2014 limiting the amount of time mixed race inmates could spend with each other. Five days later the sheriff went shopping at costco and bought cameras with her own credit card that were then installed in the jail. Then the next day the fight broke out. We spoke Rick Callendar and the Jail Commission and he says the documents are sure to raise a lot of questions. This doesnt look good. Obviously, there was a release of the moem moe that said clearly there was problems with africanamerican and latino inmates in jails. And then after that there was another memo that said lets release them together and did not give a reason to withdraw the policy. Its suggesting theres larger problems. Theres a crisis of leadership.

Its triggered a neighborhood fight involving restraining orders and now the city is involved. The issue is whether a homeowner is allowed to cut down a pine tree in the backyard of his home. Reporter this all began on cook street 11 months ago u. New homeowner dale rogers chopped down a few trees like this one. All of which were on his property. Neighbors were immediately outraged saying the pine trees date back 100 years and make up the landscape and character of their neighborhood. Just because you own property doesnt mean that you can just thats beyond the law. But at the time rogers didnt do anything wrong. None of the trees were recognized under the citys landmark ordinance. Neighbors vowed to change that using restraining orders to protect the remaining tree until they could convince city leaders to save it. They got their wish. The urban Forestry Council voted in the landmark status, a move that the attorney sets a bad precedent. Im more concerned about the message this is going to send particularly that developers or people with ill intent will go ahead and start removing trees in anticipation that this ordinance will be misused in this way.
