Dianne Feinstein, the San Francisco Democrat, is our choice in Tuesday's race for U.S. Senate. She has served the state well in her past six-year term. Feinstein has had the backing of law enforcement groups for her anti-crime efforts and paying attention to the needs of police and sheriff's departments. She recently made points for supporting the assignment of Drug Enforcement Administration agents in Redding. These agents will help crack down on the methamphetamine trade, a problem that has reached epidemic proportions in the north state. She has a better understanding of the drug problem than most politicians after having authored the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996. Feinstein, along with Rep. Wally Herger, did an admirable job in their support of the Quincy Library Group. This effort brought local environmentalists and timber representatives together for a plan to manage parts of the Lassen, Plumas and Tahoe national forests. We support Feinstein in her bid for re-election. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
