“The garbage derelict vehicles, these abandoned and dilapidated homes mash them down, clear them down, take them down the government really need to focus on that. If a lot of the young fellas does not have any where to go and anything to do top occupy their time they will be idle the reason I know that is that I was one of those young guys. There are alot of good young men in this community; I don’t care who you are, if the distractions are there for you will fold. I don’t want to be misunderstood I’m not saying that that is a problem but if we don’t make sure that the brothers and sisters of other countries are registered or have the proper documents we will be in some problems in the future”
