BUSH DAUGHTER GETS FAVORITISM

I have empathy for Gov. Jeb Bush and his family regarding the drug
problems his daughter faces. But the legal system's handling of this
situation is motivated totally by politics.

Would a person who is not the governor's daughter receive the same
type of treatment? I think not.

A person who is not so politically well connected would have been
thrown into jail long ago. What is the history of this rehabilitation
center in handling similar situations with other residents? The public
needs to know.

The resident who made the 911 call reporting Noelle Bush's drug
possession obviously thought she was receiving preferential treatment.
