As my colleagues Sheriff Jerry Modena and Police Chief Mike Burns come together to form a drug task force, taxpayers need to know that all the arrests the task force makes will be without meaning. All of us in law enforcement know that an arrested drug dealer is quickly replaced, usually within days. The real victims are the taxpayers. Want to make every drug dealer in Georgia disappear? Repeal drug prohibition -- legalize/regulate and tax the heck out of the drugs. Howard Wooldridge Albany - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
