CITIZENS WANT METH CRACKDOWN

It seems like the illustrous Sen. Barbara Leff of Paradise Valley is still 
inserting her foot into her mouth, and failing to understand that the 
citizenship and and the top law enforcement personnel of the state want a 
crackdown on meth.

Her measily attempt last year to put minor restraints on the drug 
pseudoephedrine/ ephedrine, contained in many over-the-counter drugs such 
as Sudafed, etc., is being overshadowed by cities who want more restraints. 
Not to mention that many of the top retailers of the nation have all ready 
put into place policies to stem meth production. My question to Barbara 
Leff is simply, who are you protecting and how much shares of stock do you 
hold in the companies who manufacture Sudafed, etc.? There has to be a 
reason why she does not listen to the top law enforcement officials of this 
state, and ignores the citizenship of the state, who want meth labs shut 
down and meth producers imprisoned for endangering neighbors, children, and 
those brave souls who must enter the premises of meth labs and clean up the 
environmental messes. My hat is off to law enforcement and these folks.
