[Shasta County] Letter to editor: Local government fails community on crime issue

Millions of dollars that should have gone toward jail capacity and recidivism misappropriated and nobody is paying attention and calling for accountability or resignations?
A grand jury report conveniently released on a Friday after the sheriff election?
Repeat offenders on the streets of Redding harassing us and now we learn that our safety was intentionally jeopardized by those we entrusted?
We have a Redding 2.0 crime Facebook site, we're pissed about all the crime but we aren't paying attention and protesting this gross misconduct?
Business as usual, political self-preservation ahead of the needs of our community.
I call for the resignation of every supervisor and the sheriff who not only let this happen but condoned it for several years. They have failed us and it's time for us to hold them accountable and take our community back."
