From the Paper:

"Another underlying problem is the diversification of the Waterville population, which is not twenty-five percent Hispanic. However, city and business leadership does not reflect this large population and there have been significant conflicts between the city leadership and the Hispanic community. Most of these conflicts are centered on the use of city parks, zoning, dances, hiring policies and police practices."
"Now that we have looked at the entire problem, the next step is to analyze their causes. Although Mayor Joyce Allen has stated that the decrease in local businesses can be attributed to the increase in drug use, there seems to be an underlying problem beyond the youth drug use."
