BETTER ON THE STREET?

Editor, The News:

Re: 18 months for selling pot to cops (The News, Oct. 13).

Mayor Gordy Robson has apparently spent most of his life in a cave. He
stated: "Selling drugs through a retail outlet is not a good thing."

The reality, of course, is that is exactly how most drugs are sold and
Maple Ridge, no doubt, has at least one retail outlet with the word
"drugs" prominently displayed as part of the store's name or
description.

Finishing the mayor's thought highlights the absurdity of his
assertion that "Selling drugs through a retail outlet is not a good
thing," it is much better to sell them on the street.
