Make Graffiti Taggers Clean Up Their Act

* In reference to your editorial “Make Taggers Clean Up After Themselves” (Nov. 14), I am pleased to hear that people in the city of Lancaster are mobilizing to combat taggers.

Graffiti vandalism has become a big problem in Southern California. Taggers not only destroy public and private property, but they also give our area a bad image in the eyes of the world. Keeping taggers in jail is not enough punishment. It is an excellent idea to force them to clean up the mess they have made. We need to spend money on public schools, public services and increase our police force.

I believe all citizens should participate in the fight against taggers. Enough is enough. We will not allow those taggers to destroy our community any more. If we do not care, who does?
