St. Joseph city and park officials are working to combat a growing vandalism problem at the city’s parks.
District One Councilmember Madison Davis says much of this vandalism can be senseless at times
"Restrooms, you know they try to break a mirror or rip the sink off the wall or bend the dividers, just silly things," Davis tells KFEQ Hotline host Barry Birr. "It's just there's I don't think any way to describe it other than senseless and stupid."
Davis says it's up to everyone to try to help stop the problem
"Trying to if we see these things or see individuals who are doing these things, trying to call them out and report those things," Davis says. "Not to say that's going to fix every problem."
Davis says this is not a problem as small as littering
"We've got to have the education and the sense in our community that it harms us more than anybody," Davis explains. "And I think that's hard to get across to folks at times."
Davis says the problem is not just contained to city parks, it's also happening at city businesses and homes as well.
