Mayor Booker and OP, can I suggest the use of "Ambassadors" or hired individuals who are paid to provide Clean And Safe services to the Special Improvement District. This model is used in Cleveland and Philedelphia and has paid big dividends on improving safety and economic development.

Did anyone, prisoner, guard or official give you an indication that Guantanamo would be closed in the near future (given the President's recent comments) or did they not take those words seriously?
