46th Ward Crime & Safety
************************************
26 Days until the Aldermanic election
With the election so close, UNC will focus on the top community issues identified by 500 people from our recent survey: Crime & Safety, Lack of retail, Wilson Yard. Part 1...
Depending on who you listen to, the 46th ward is either the safest north side ward, or the most dangerous. You decide.
At last night's debate, Helen Shiller stated that the 23rd district's crime level is down. And that's true. What James Capplemen, the democratic candidate for alderman, pointed out, is the 23rd district includes Lakeview, Lincoln Park and Uptown. When you spread the crime stats around, they don't look so bad. What's really going on with crime in the 46th ward?
2006 was a dangerous year for Uptown. There have been two murders, 2 major drug-ring busts with 27 people arrested. One drug bust was at the Happy Wash Laundromat on Wilson, with moms and kids the front for the drug dealers, to read the Police Alert click here. The other took place at a CHA high-rise on Eastwood. Multiple gang shootings, including one that sent a car crashing into a high-rise on Clarendon and Wilson, and so much gun-fire that several neighbors have moved after being caught in the cross-fire.
The current alderman's response to address all this violent crime? Dead silence. The picture of the police roll call shown above was held a few days after the last young male was murdered on December 2. Where was Alderman Shiller?
Why has Helen Shiller refused to take a strong stand on crime in our community? Seems that this question was asked by a tenacious Sun-Times Reporter, Ray Coffey, when he took a revealing look at aldermanic connections with the gangs in 1999. To read Ray Coffey's article, click here.
