OPEN LETTER TO SHERIFF DUPNIK

Dear Sheriff Dupnik,

We voted for you because we thought you to be an objective crime 
fighter - one who could prioritize problems and execute enforcement 
based on the severity of problems.

Unfortunately, you seem to have let your personal challenges cloud 
your clear view on issues like medical marijuana.

We would hope your public statements would address dangerous problems 
and making Pima County a safer place to live, not (be) about catching 
pot smokers.

Your boring, ho-hum stand on drugs shows that you need to regroup 
your priorities.

We live in a county area being eyed by the city of Tucson. While 
we've been satisfied with response from the Sheriff's Department, 
follow-up is nonexistent, all the more reason to prioritize your enforcement.

Wake up, listen to the Supreme Court, what they really said and 
didn't say about their recent decision.

Stop violent crime and people who hurt other people. Pot smokers are 
not in that classification.

Frank McGee

Pima County
