ROCKY'S NOT ALONE

Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson is featured in the latest edition of 
Rolling Stone magazine for his banishment of the DARE program.

It noted Anderson was the latest city leader to halt the federally 
subsidized program in which police officers go into schools with an 
anti-drug message. Cities that scrapped DARE on the grounds it doesn't work 
include Minneapolis, Austin, Seattle and Omaha, some of which are run by 
conservative, Republican mayors.

DARE could become a hot issue in Utah in the next few years since Salt Lake 
County Mayor-elect Nancy Workman made her support of DARE and her 
disagreement with Anderson a major campaign issue.
