READERS SOUND OFF ON POT ISSUE (13 OF 16)

This is in response to the article about Rod Blagojevich smoking marijuana
in college.

The press and voters are focusing on the wrong points for candidate Rod
Blagojevich. We should be focusing on the more important issues that will
affect our state in the future.

We should be concerned about ideas and ways that he will make our state a
better place.

Focusing on the mistakes he made while going through college seems petty
when there are so many important current issues the candidates are facing.
... The press should not be focusing on the past, but rather on the future
because that is what our candidates will be representing, the future of
Illinois. Instead of digging up dirt about the mistakes they made in the
past, we should be asking insightful questions about what they will do to
help our state and the people that live in it.
