Jim, your description is not too harsh. I'd leave it up and suppliment 
it as possible with the other documentation suggested (photos of broken 
beer bottles, sound clips, etc. Just nothing that could be construed as 
p*rn.)

You actually have more opportunity to resolve this than you may think. 
We are coming up on our local elections for Raleigh City Council, so the 
candidates are going to be especially interested in making you happy. 
Who wants to come out in favor of the anti-social behavior you are 
describing?

Consider contacting the following:
* Mayor Meeker and your representative for District D, Thomas Crowder ( 
Thomas.Crowder AT ci.raleigh.nc.us <mailto:Thomas.Crowder AT ci.raleigh.nc.us> 
), who are both running for re-election unopposed. I know you've 
contacted them before, but try doing it at a "meet the candidates" 
event. At the very least, contact their campaigns as well as their 
regular offices.
* At-Large Councilor Joyce Kekas (Joyce.Kekas AT ci.raleigh.nc.us 
<mailto:Joyce.Kekas AT ci.raleigh.nc.us>) who is one of three people 
running for two seats, one of which she currently holds
* Candidate Russ Stephenson ( info AT RussforRaleigh.com 
<mailto:info AT RussforRaleigh.com> ), who is another candidate for the 
at-large seat. Russ has a great background in city planning and is your 
most likely allie. While you are at it, donate or volunteer for his 
campaign, not as a bribe of course, but just because we really need him 
on City Council.
* Contact the president of your neighborhood Community Advisory Council 
and ask to get on the agenda of the next meeting. You can find out which 
CAC you are in by calling 831-6100.
* Your Democatic precinct chair, Andy Leager ( leager AT bellsouth.net 
<mailto:leager AT bellsouth.net> ) You are in 01-01, which is a very active 
precinct.
* The new NCSU Chancellor James Oblinger,  who might be interested in 
improving the local Town and Gown relationship. 515-2191 · 
chancellor@*ncsu*.edu

There was also a very active group last year that was working against 
neighborhood breaking in the Avent Ferry area. Their representatives 
worked with City Council and presented their results at several CAC 
meetings. I couldn't google a reference right away, but your CAC person 
might know.

Officer Poteat is a no-op for this sort of thing.

But I have to ask, are you the James Ray registered as a Libertarian who 
lives on Brooks? That's the only likely Jim Ray in your neighborhood. If 
so, then IMHO you've to to let them party on and not resort to using 
goverment resources. If not, make sure your voter registration is up to 
date so you can vote. Of course, you may be registered a different way 
and I just didn't see it.

Good luck!
Linda Watson
