LETTER: Cameras will keep downtown safe

Now living in the country as  former residents of the city of Columbia, we support Proposition 1. We do visit Columbia and downtown on a regular basis and believe that safety cameras are a tool to help Columbia Police keep the city safe. When reading the Daily Tribune, we believe this is something Columbia needs if residents intend for their city to continue to be a safe place to live and shop in, especially downtown. If someone argues that these cameras take away their privacy, then one should ask what they are doing on a city street that is so private. Please help support and vote for Proposition One. We would vote yes!
