BLANCHARD DECISION ON POT IS RIGHT ONE
Editor: I applaud Dane County District Attorney Brian Blanchard's
announcement that his office will no longer criminally prosecute
small amounts of marijuana. It's a refreshing slice of common sense.
In a county with an ever-rising violent crime rate and limited
resources to deal with it, the District Attorney's Office can't
afford to have its hands tied with something as minor as pot
possession for personal use.
Brian Blanchard gets it. Hopefully, the county's police departments
will as well.
