Nope; I don't mean to offend you but you're not "important" enough for those sorts of people. You have to have a lot of money or be semi-famous.

Yes, you should expect a reply. I would follow up with another letter and a phone call to the mayors office. A letter to the local newspaper outlining both your frustration with the mayors office and you concerns with crime might also help you out. How a response from your elected officials comes may depend on the size of your city. It might be a form letter if you live in a large city, or something written by a staff member. You might also want to contact your state legislator for the district that the city is in. The worst thing you can do is nothing. Stay involved!

I hear you totally. I've called several occasion's talked to people in our mayors office. The most they do is send me a stupid brush off letter. The last time they did that I called and told them that I was offended and asked how stupid does the mayor actually think I am?? I live in Milwaukee crime (violent) has increased tremendously. Milwaukee is a very dangerous place to live now. However what I wanted to say is I feel your pain. I dont have a good answer for you. You would think that they would call you back or at least answer you. Sometimes I think they themselves dont know the answer and its all outta sight outta mind!! I will look to your answers maybe I will get some help for my situation as well?? Good luck to you.

Best thing you could do is have yourself, and others you know write the same letter, and don't do it just once, make it a habit, each send out a letter once a week, until you recieve a reply.
If it's just not catching their attention, multiple letters will, or if they just don't care, eventually they'll get sick and tired of seeing these letters, and write a reply.

At best you could look for a form letter from the mayor's office. Unless you live in a small community, there is little chance of a personal response.*
*Unless, of course you include a check with lots of zeros to his/her re-election campaign.
I wouldn't hold my breath for a reply.

I wrote a letter to the Texas Governor once about a problem that's happening in our state, and the closest I got was a follow up letter from his secretary. It took several months.

If they had not replied by now they won't. You need to go to a city council meeting and sign up to speak. I know from past experience that by doing this all on the council hear what you have to say. If it's like where I live they can't adjourn until everybody speaks. good luck !

Of course you should expect a reply! Civil servants work for you not the other way round!
However, whether or not you should expect a constructive and useful answer or not is an entirely different matter!

In theory, as your employee, (he is employed by the people) you should receive a letter from him. In reality, nope, I wouldn't expect one and after three months you aren't going to get one.

you will get a write back, but it will be from the secretary with his signature, saying thank you for your continued support. trust me, i tried. why dont you make an appointment to go their office and talk to them directly. bring some friends. they love voters who come in pacts. good luck
