Comment: Right, who could even think of blaming the mayor for a problem that's been festering for years as she ignored it, calling these scofflaws and criminals, "travelers."
Is it going to take a "traveler" killing someone inside the library for her and her fellow asleep-at-the-wheel councilors to do something?
A 20+ million-dollar library now is a gathering place for the homeless, the seedy, the violent. 
Add to this the ugliest new urban housing in the nation: Capstone.
And the icing on the cake, our invisible new City Hall that already has rung up 5-million bucks in costs.
The millions of bucks stop somewhere. 
Piercy should just resign and slink off. The job has proven too big for her. All councilors, except Taylor and Brown should follow her out the door.
