This is a balanced approach by funding critical needs (homeless, housing, education, mental health, etc.) while still fully funding our PD. We as the 5th-largest city can accomplish both without sacrificing either, and we need a fully funded PD. Crime deterrence includes keeping youth active which is why the city needs to build all 3 planned small neighborhood parks in Laveen starting with the long-vacant blighted lot at 55th Ave & Samantha. The other lots are in Rogers Ranch & Laveen Meadows.
