MATH DOESN'T QUITE ADD UP WITH ANTI GROW-OP EFFORTS

Re: Team to take aim at grow-ops, March 11

Mayor Lois Jackson is quoted as saying that neighbours have to let us
know and have a zero tolerance for this type of activity.

In the next sentence, fire chief Dan Copeland said the program will
start on a small scale with only one or two safety inspections a month.

Question: If there are over 230 properties in Delta that warrant
further investigation, then is there not a contradiction in those two
statements? Neighbours are to have zero tolerance but the Delta team
will take supposedly 10 years to investigate the current 230 suspect
properties? Why?

Is that to allow the grow-ops to move to another property rather than
to shut them down?
