    Can you get some of these drugs off the street in Jamestown New York ? It’s sad this used to be such a nice place to live. Now all it seems to be is a bunch of junkies and drug dealers. Hopefully this other thing will pass if you kill somebody with your drugs you go to jail, I can’t remember what they call it but I hope it passes. This is getting ridiculous. Are we spending all of our money on people that don’t wanna quit doing drugs? I would much prefer giving my money to people that don’t do drugs and live a nice life and want to be a pillar to society not a stain on it get your lives together people and it goes for all ages not just younger people like everybody and anybody can die from doing these stupid drugs wake up

    I agree with you 💯. But until we stop voting the same people in that’re allowing our borders to be wide open that’s allowing the Drug Cartel in, nothing is going to change.

  4. Ethel Rodgers,
    What taxes have you paid in NYS?
    Considering your background and present affiliation/ associates, it’s really a surprise to see you make such a premeditated comment w/ an agenda that you obviously thought would make you look like you have such a proactive involvement with such criminal activities. Maybe start where you’re originally from: PA.
    Nice Try … really.
