Dear Editor, Re: “Why local policing is best for Richmond,” column , Jan. 20. I enjoyed reading Andy Hobbs’ guest column. I was interested to know how something can cost more, but we will pay about the same for it.

Dear Editor, On Monday night, city council had a lengthy discussion on the Massey Tunnel Replacement Project.
