Support public safety levy in Black Diamond | Letter

Can you imagine not having police 24-hour protection from our city police department. This is what we might be facing in the near future. The city of Black Diamond is asking its residents to renew its public safety levy to ensure the city has the resources to keep its residents safe via police and fire protection. This is not a new tax, but the renewal of a retiring levy. If this levy does not pass we will lose four of our nine police officers. We ask for your support to spread the word to our fellow voters.

Join use at Mama’s Steak and Pasta at 24306 Roberts Drive, Black Diamond for an information and fundraising event, 6:30 to 8 p.m. Monday, March 22. Our goal is to raise $2,000 at this event, as this will be our only fundraiser. If people could chip in $20-$50 to help with the printing and postage of promotional information to help us spread the word about the importance of passing this levy. If you can’t make the event please support our police force with any contribution. We will be glad to collect the contributions and will be running the funds through the Black Diamond Police Officers Guild. There is a reason that Black Diamond has lower crime rates than the surrounding areas. It’s our police department!
