  1. What? The cops don’t give full adequate police coverage in Constantine! My uncle said one cop even told him they couldn’t afford to stake out a loud rowdy revolving door of drunks and druggies using the village as a dragstrip, that it was up to neighbors to record them. Will Centreville pay enough so Constantine can hire replacements for the ir misding cops?

  2. They’re going to pay for everything with wide open pot production. They’re rewriting their ordinances to remove all restrictions and the number of growers, producers, sellers. No more seed corn capital. Now its stink town of St Joe county with skunk weed, sewage and ethanol polluting land, water and air .

  3. That’s crazy just less than a year ago Constantine told me they had no officers to respond to my call until after 4 pm so White Pigeon had to to come take my report. Now they have so many officers they can contract them out? What I believe is happening is Constantine police department is going broke so the officers are harassing middle class tax paying citizens with anything they can going as far as taking their dogs outta their yards just to charge them with 2 misdemeanors to try and generate some revenue!! How much money is the village police department making off this contract deal? Seems like they should worry about their citizens first and not by harassing them to generate revenue
