Mnil . Statement as am BOA Statement RE: BGA Bryan Eiggs -- Thu,Apr12. 2018 at 5:13 PM To: Klannah Sepedaerller Good Evening Kiannah - Garry's statements are supported by multiple studies that continue to point to the high cost of gun violence. You'll have to talk those who authored them to judge their work. But it is undeniable that our City has absorbed a tremendous fiscal price as a result of this high level of violence. There is also an incalculable cost to families, community cohesion and population loss in our City because of fear of violence that drains the city tax base. The Mayor has failed to make Chicagoans feel safe and we are continuing to see unacceptable levels of murder and violent crime. We launched our new website, garryformayorcom, on Monday. Each of the issue sections were re-written to reflect the conversations Garry has had with citizens, stakeholders and experts during the months he was exploring a run for Mayor. To be sure, as we look ahead to laying out our plans in even more specificity we wi 'nclude the costs that high violent crime rates have had on City government and too many families here in Chicago.
