Mayor Phillip Pinnino

Dear Mayor Pinnino,
I am writing this letter to submit my resignation as
a board member of the Gang Alternative Project. I have
tried to act as a board member and to support the needs
of the gang members but have found this to be a great
conflict. I find it very hard to support someone who
chooses to ignore our efforts, but instead chooses to
continue with their choice of vandalism and terroristic
activities of our whole neighborhood.
I submit my resignation with only one regret and that
is their are some gang members who may benefit in the long
run but until they are ready to accept the consequences for
the actions they are taking, we have a real problem. When
I see the terror in the eyes of the innocent children, I
have to help them and relinquish my board position and
devote more time to my neighborhood.
Mayor Pennino, you know me and I am not a quitter. I
feel I must devote more time to helping my neighborhood
families recapture their neighborhood once again and
make them the quiet, safe, and clean neighborhoods they
once were. This will not be an easy task but we feel
with the fantastic help we have been getting from both your
staft and the excellant cooperation of Chief Hansen's people,
we feel we have a good chance.
It has been great being part of the community effort
on behalf of the Gang Alternative Project, but I must help
my neighborhood. I really feel they need me and the gang
members are more concerned with their own selfish actions
and have no regards for end result of their actions.
S✓iinncerely,
U w
Virginia L. Lahr
