    I know Bruce is feeling the pressure because he finally paid some attention to Kroger creating food- and pharmacy deserts. He’s apparently coming up to chat with folks in Lake City on Sunday. Unfortunately he’s just proposing some weak-ass Moar Farmers Markets With a Side of Extra Cops instead of more effective solutions that are known to work, and he’s parroting Kroger’s BS line that “crime” was behind their decision to close the best stores in the area as a reason to funnel more money to the (already shiftless) SPD. His chief criticism of Wilson’s proposals is that they will take “years to implement”, like his own “proposed”, “planned”, or “dedicated” improvements have any more of a chance of seeing fruition…
