“Whatever the cause, a full investigation was needed and for the report to be made public,” said DA caucus leader Shelley Loe.<\/p>\n

“Residents in the area, who are alleging that this car is regularly seen driving fast and furiously along this stretch of road, are asked to stem their anger during the investigation.”<\/p>

No comment was received from the EMPD, although the GCN requested a response.<\/p>\n

Loe assured residents that she would not allow the metro to duck questions, as the vehicle in question belonged to the ratepayers.<\/p>\n
