SIMPLE SOLUTION

There seems to be a growing (pardon the pun) industry in our
community.

It looks like every other day, the police and firefighters are risking
who knows what, going into these houses that are growing marijuana!

I have read where the local politicians are trying to get the "time to
pay the crime." At the same time the judges,who seem to be letting
these illegal growers go almost scot-free, are down on the same
politicians for interference.

I believe these same judges have the power to do some good in this
community! They could simply confiscate the houses where the pot is
growing, and turn them over to the community, for shelters for the
homeless!

Look at the tax savings right there.
