Why can’t we run the gangs and gang related people out of this City? They are only here because of their partners being in prison, their families come here to visit and stay. Why can’t we banish criminals in gangs and drug dealers from here. They do not belong in our once more peaceful and inviting Elmira town. Ask the Mayor and law makers if we can make some kind of law to do so.
