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.
