PIGNATELLI IS WRONG ON SCHOOL-ZONE STANCE

To the Editor of THE EAGLE:- Rep. William "Smitty" Pignatelli has always 
been a good listener and we know he's not in favor of drugs. So why is he 
listening to those attempting to weaken  our drug policies and laws? We 
can't understand for a minute how anyone would  listen to those who 
advocate for making illegal drugs easier to sell and get in  South County.

If Mr. Pignatelli is truly thinking as a parent, he will not be captured or 
bought by the illegal drug proponents. He will realize most of his 
constituents  fear drugs and the harm they bring to our children, while 
only a selfish few  care about lessening punishment of those caught dealing 
in a school zone.
