He made a good point that people should get issued civil citations rather than a criminal arrest for small amounts of marijuana. There would be fewer people in jail. The cost of $60 for every inmate could go to the people with more serious crimes. There could be more room in jail for the people who have been waiting on trial for a while. Everyone should be allowed to get another chance. The way the law is now, some people are going to lose their jobs, homes, cars - anything they own. No one is perfect. I agree with everything Commissioner Proctor said, and I am thankful to him for proposing the new ordinance. Rodricka Troupe, Tallahassee, --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
