WRONG NEIGHBORHOODS

The problem with the "Weed & Seed" program ("Area laments loss of
program," July 10) is that it isn't used in upscale neighborhoods
where the big-time fraud, theft and robbing of widows and orphans occurs.

One hundred percent prosecution of drug laws and white collar crime in
white areas would do far more "weeding" than going after poor people
in the ghettos.

Throwing rich criminals in prison would have therapeutic effect on the
entire justice system. Taking down these enclaves of stock
manipulation and business swindles would improve the financial
stability of the region.

The investigation should start with Gov. Jeb Bush's
administration.
