Re the recent complaint about Tucson Leadership: I also fondly remember the small town I moved to some 50 years ago. Of the writer's complaint about "Democratic leadership", road repairs, police funding, and teacher's salaries are a function of how much money our Republican Legislature allocates. Free buses reduce the traffic on our downtown streets. I have not seen any stats on how that translates to "crime being transported throughout the city." Somehow the image of a burglar waiting to catch a bus to escape a crime scene seems ludicrous. The homeless are in every town and city. That is a national problem, not only a "Tucson leadership" problem.
