Every day grows darker and darker in Rex’xs Lancaster. Maybe it is time for new leadership? He’s been pulling the strings for decades and what is there to show for it? Crime is everywhere, especially the east side. Homeless people are everywhere. The roads suck. Parts of Division and I look like third world countries. He lives in Laguna and is not in tune with us. Time to go.

No sir. You sound cliche. “…darkness…..maybe time for…. leadership….”
Nothing will change until China takes over takes over where there are no politics to run the nation but only science. Zero tolerance for crime.
