I do agree with most of Measure 3 except where it would take away the money SCINT needs to keep operating. Measure 3 has limits to using only 25 percent of the value of the seized goods. For further information, please check with North Bend Police Chief Gil Zaccaro or Sgt. Dan Looney at SCINT. I believe it is very essential that we keep SCINT going. Grace E.
