So much for the 30 year low

Looks like we're now running neck and neck with last year's homicide totals

Looks like Jessamy's Campaign Finance Report is in. She has about $18k in contributions against Bernstein's $200k.

Owch. It also didn't look too good for her to have every 11 o'clock newscast reporting she was the only candidate unable to get their finance report in by an hour before the deadline.

Corrections...Jessamy has $46k in contributions ($18k in individual contributions)

I don’t get what they’re trying to say… we’re at and have been at a 20 year low, not a 30 year low. (The misperception may be the fault of city officials, who keep saying we’re at “historic” lows even though all we experienced was a “near-historic” drop in 2008. We’re nowhere near historic lows, raw total or rate-wise).
The BPD says we’re at 137 homicides, not 139 as the IV article states. But even if we’re running even with last year’s numbers, wouldn’t that still be a 20 year low?? What do they mean “so much for the 20 year low?” Until we surpass that number, we’re still at the lowest rate since 1989/90.
