SENTENCE DRUG DEALERS THE MAX

Dear Editor: There's been a 35 per cent jump in crime in our little 
haven of Penticton recently. Now most of the increase in crime is 
connected to the drug trade and is expected to grow if the economy 
continues to dwindle especially since jobs began drying up in the oil patch.

The justice system must not be weak in their sentencings. It has
become a revolving door for most drug dealers and they take full
advantage of the situation.

We must be the role models and give these people the maximum sentences
in order to deter them and send them out of Penticton. If not, our
safety will eventually be compromised.
