PELANDA DRUG FORUM IS LAUDABLE

Dear Editor:

Marion owes a debt of gratitude to Rep. Dorothy Pelanda for rounding
up a state legislature committee to study drug problems in Ohio.

We all know heroin and other illegal drugs are a cancer on our
community and others in Ohio. We have seen increased law enforcement
activity for which we are grateful. Rep. Pelanda will head a committee
of 10 house members to work with law enforcement officials to learn
about this problem from the ground up.

Hopefully, it will produce some meaningful legislation and programs to
attack the issue. Once again, Dorothy Pelanda is showing the kind of
leadership we have come to expect from her.
