Prop. 36 Will Lead to Tax Savings
- Share via
* Dana Parsons’ Nov. 15 column on the passage of Proposition 36 and emphasis on treatment for drug addicts instead of imprisonment (“O.C. Confronts Drug War and Turns Left”), was outstanding.
Despite often negative audiences and risks to his career, Judge Jim Gray has for years given of his time and knowledge to inform the public of the need to change viewpoints. He deserves a great deal of credit and thanks.
Gray’s work, along with that of others in the field, undoubtedly will lead eventually to enormous savings to taxpayers, improvement in the lives of addicts and their families, and less temptation to corruption in law enforcement.
