From the Email InBox: Drugs and HS#3

Gramps:

The arrests for Drugs around the Proposed High School Site #3 and Michigan and Barton Road area should be indicators for the Public and the CJUSD School Board.

It appears that the Drug Dealers and Users are setting up territory in the hopes the school and ready customers will eventually be located there on the boarder.

Yes the school being on the Boarder of two counties, in a small town with very limited law enforcement is an ideal location to claim for drug trafficking and drug sales.

Notice that no special enhancement of the charges are done when the arrests are close to an existing school. WHY aren't the Drug Dealers and Users charged with Selling or Possession of Drugs near a School? Is it not important to have a Safe Zone around our Schools and Parks.

So, Friends of Grand Terrace, Concerned Citizens, and Parents. Drug dealers, Drug Users, Drug Houses, Need to have ZERO Tolerance in Grand Terrace.

City Planners and the Alcohol Beverage Control Board (ABC) should be aware, that any increase in Recreational Legal Alcohol Distribution and Consumption Points will bring additional Recreational Drug Users to this community. Their Addicts and Distributors don't care about our children, citizens or property. ALL ABC Licensed Businesses, including stores and restaurants and bars should be viewed as attractive nuisances and an increase cost of Law Enforcement, and as such should cost more for business licenses and permits, and perhaps be held liable for the costs incurred for the increased crime they host in our city.
