Gang graffiti leads to gang violence. An effective tool
to prevent the escalation
into violence is to paint over graffiti as quickly as possible. To help with this issue, a group of concerned citizens is being formed to volunteer their time to paint over graffiti for private property owners. The City has agreed to provide the paint and other supplies, now we need volunteers to paint over the graffiti. If you are interested in joining this important group please contact Jeff Vandervort at 862-0547 or shoevort@sbcglobal.net
