GREENSBURG TO RECEIVE $5,000 FOR DRUG WAR

Greensburg is getting more money to fight the war on drugs.

The city will receive $5,000 from the Westmoreland County District 
Attorney's Office, Greensburg City Council reported Tuesday during an 
agenda meeting.

The money is from an investigative fund established from the forfeiture of 
money seized by drug traffickers through investigations conducted by the 
Westmoreland County Detectives Bureau and the Greensburg police department. 
The detectives bureau operates under Westmoreland County District Attorney 
John Peck's jurisdiction.

Mayor Karl Eisaman said the money must be used only for enforcing the 
state's Controlled Substance, Drug Device and Cosmetic Act.
