I have a proposal to solve the increase in crime in major cities.

DEDUCT from the city leaders, mayor, city council members, and district attorney, a percentage of their TOTAL COMPENSATION (salary, medical, retirement) based on the increase in the rate of crime.

For example, if the crime rate increases by 25%, the leaders’ COMPENSATIONS are cut 25%. If the crime rate increases by 100%, the leaders receive NOTHING.  If the crime rate increases beyond 100% the leaders must pay the city the a percentage of their SALARIES beyond 100%. For example, if the crime rate increases to 115%, each leader receives NO COMPENSATION PACKAGE and must pay 15% of THEIR OWN MONEY to the city.  The converse is true as well.  If the crime rate is reduced by 25%, the leaders will receive 25% higher SALARIES.  How would the bonuses be funded you ask?  Take the money from the expenditures for their personal security details.  This gives them an additional INCENTIVE to make sure the cities are SAFE.

That should get their FAT ASSES off the couch and get them to actually perform the function of government.
