311 is a joke.
Cases regularly get closed out with no action.
No oversight of the system and it needs a real audit to identify the individuals abusing their power and making the millions of dollars spent to this point worthless.
Also a real audit would show problem areas and times that can easily be enforced (and raise the city’s revenue).
NER, You got that right. 311 is a big joke. One policeman for the entire No. End. & you will see it
is going to get worse, this isn’t anything, wait.
We have to protest outside of City Hall for what we need and want.
