Dear
Retired Office Howard J. Wooldridge: Thank you for your efforts to
reach out to help Asheville from your Dallas office of Law Enforcement
Against Prohibition [Letters, June 16]. Unfortunately the street-level
hard-drug interdiction plan you observe as doomed to failure is not
remotely [a] reflection of the effort we are trying to implement in
Asheville. Weve done our homework and followed models that do work
across the country. You had the option of also doing your homework or
offering us clever sound bites as a substitute for substance. You chose
the latter, but should you make a stronger effort to do your homework
about our real plan, I, for one, would be grateful for your help.
