I can understand jitters about the upcoming draft though I would like numbers. Still with a large drop during the period last year that saw the only spike in a year (centered around rowdy crowds downtown) in a year that saw an 18% drop after new tactics and higher pay for more overtime were introduced I’m optimistic.
