Letter to Editor in today's Reading Eagle:Police presence is essential
Editor: It required a mortality to get city code inspectors to scrutinize rental properties.Is homicide the prerequisite to securing police presence at Reading High School.
Last school year at Reading High, a police officer was struck with a rock.This year ,one was struck with a brick.If a police officer is not safe,then what prospect does a student have? The necessity is obvious: A police presence is imperative at Reading High.
Mayor Tom McMahon has made the asinine assumption that the city cannot afford to have officers at the school. We cannot afford the violent death of a student.
Police Chief William Heim's proposal offered police protection with a $1,000--a-day price tag. Somehow this reminds me of a racket Al Capone once had dominated.
Students safety should not be compromised for monetary reasons. Our children deserve a safe education.The police presence is essential.
James Moore from Reading
