Crime in Charlotte increased by 3.5% this past year -- while statewide the crime levels only increased by 0.6%. Could that have anything to do with the recent 274% increase in the foreign-born population in and near Charlotte? Hmmm?

But don't worry, government will do it's job here. As pointed out in the article, the mayor of Charlotte went to Raleigh in February (on a "road trip") to ask for more money. No, they didn't take any of the money for the choo-choo away, they just asked for more. $1 billion for the train, but $0 for law enforcement. That's the Charlotte way. And don't you DARE question them. If you do, you're a "naysayer" and just trying to cause trouble -- because that 3.5% increase in crime wasn't from people causing trouble, somehow.

Yes, Charlotte government has it's priorities in order:
#1: Build a train set.
#2: Spend more money on stuff.
#3: Make sure the train gets built.
#4: Raise fees and house values so you can get more money and claim you're not raising taxes.
#5: Make sure the train set looks nice, no matter what it costs.

#4,390: If the people complain a LOT, ask Raleigh to handle the crime issues because government has more important things to do.
