KICKING THE CURE

It is unfortunate that Ronald Charette and Barbara Haller have taken it 
upon themselves to interfere with plans for a large respected healthcare 
company to open a methadone clinic in Worcester (WM,News Desk /"Kicking the 
cure," March 28). The company was responding to a flood of calls for more 
methadone treatment capacity in the area and the widespread availability of 
cheap pure heroin. Deaths will surely ensue, that could easily have been 
averted by this long-proven treatment. Will Charette, Haller, and their 
cronies come to the new funerals? Dare they show their faces?
