SUBMITTED INTO THE
PUBLIC RECORD FOR
ITEM o33 ONE_.
As a City of Miami Commissioner and a concerned resident, I humbly ask for your help
with an issue that affects us more and more each day; crime. For quite some time we
have witnessed an alarming wave of violent crimes taking place in our city, and one of
the most noticeable trends of these crimes is that they are committed by repeat offenders.
I am constantly approached by law enforcement officials who inform me that an
individual who they arrested for a violent crime is back on the street just a few days after.
We are desperately calling on state legislators, judges, and your office to work together
with us to end the revolving door judicial system we currently have in place, which is
releasing repeat offenders back on the street and endangering the lives of many innocent
people.
Immediate action must be taken, but I cannot do it alone. I look forward to working with
you in this effort, and hope that the City of Miami can count on you as an ally in our fight
against crime.
S'ncere
ommissione oe Sanchez
ity of Miami, District 3
