REQUIRE MUCH HIGHER BAIL FOR DRUG DEALERS

I grew up in this area and now live in New York, but when I return to visit
family, I am sickened to read of the recent tragedy of four children being
killed.

I think it is time Huntington goes the way of larger cities. Stay on top of
the drug pushers 24-7, never giving them time to breathe let alone do
business. The fact bails were set at $10,000 for people arrested for drug
problems is nonsense. They make that in a week. Try $1 million and make them
understand: Do business here and it is going to take every cent you make to
stay in business.

It is time Huntington residents get fired up and take their city back from
the druggies.
