ONE PILLAR BETTER THAN NONE

I read with interest your editorial on the ramifications of just one
pillar in dealing with the city's drug problems.

Instead of criticizing the efforts of the city, why not offer better
alternatives and suggestions on who should pay for it? I did not see
that answer in the editorial.

It's much easier to criticize what is being done than to encourage
it.

I suggest we thank those who have made the commitment to start these
initial efforts: the police for doing their job (I wouldn't want it)
and those in drug management programs (I wouldn't want that either).
