Bill, did someone in your family do something wrong and got locked up? Anon, yes our drug tasks force is way behind. Lock up the drug dealers, give them HARD TIME for life and let them know we won't take it any longer. But don't forget the good these grants can do, new fire trucks, turnout gear, hose, airpacks for your fire department. Maybe it's not all bad, maybe.

Funny how 80% will most likely go towards the failing and heavily debted drug tasks force instead. Seems its the way the nations spending its fear money on the same old programs that imprison its own citizens and benefit only those that own prisons or pharmaceutical corps.
