Your Opinion: Be careful what you ask for

Dear Editor:

The shooting death on East High Street the other day and more home break-ins off Henwick Lane in the western part of the county are but a reminder of bigger cities. Recently, there was a manhunt near Binder Lake replete with helicopters and numerous law enforcement units.

I hear lots of talk by the Chamber of Commerce "types" and many in town who want the City of Jefferson to grow as large and "be like" Columbia.

As I watch news items from Columbia regarding shootings, rapes, stabbings and robberies, I can't help but think one must be careful what one asks for? Do the citizens of Jefferson City want a nice town or a metro city with the resultant problems?
