COMPLUSIVE GOINGS-ON AROUND NANAIMO

To the Editor,

Addiction - dependance on or commitment to a habit, practice, or
habit-forming substance to the extent that this cessation causes trauma.

In other words, you'd sell your mother to get it.

Four new cops downtown, $450,000 on enforcement instead of treatments.
No tax relief for non-profit organizations which bind the community
together?

I believe many cuts have been in Nanaimo on projects once OK'd to fund
New Nanaimo Centre.

This has become compulsive and obsessive to city fathers and now I see
service clubs money gets cut to scrape more money to the NNC cause it
needs a 'shot in the arm.'

So have a cup of coffee (an approved addictive stimulant drug) and say
"I wonder what he's smoking?"
