PA House Bill 1704-plank

As an under current, I've seen plenty of times when lawmakers get hyper because there are problems with enforcement. 
Same too with this 8-foot bubble that Pgh City Council just passed recently. 
The lawmakers go overboard to help take up the slack because enforcement is questionable, frail, without clear leadership -- or some other ill, including fearful of backlashes.
If you sell illegal drugs now -- and a death occurs -- that drug dealer is guilty. Yes? Of course. So, in an ideal world, this law is not needed, true? 
I say that the lawmakers who are hyper are miss-guided. They should rather spend time to insure that the police and detectives have what they need to do the enforcement as it should be done. Don't cut corners on the police and the management because you want to build a new office, retail, housing project downtown and reward a corporate developer. 
Fund a drug task force to work the school yards. Catch the bad guys -- not by working backwards from the coroner's office. Catch them sooner. That takes expensive police work. That takes money. 
I want the kids to be safe from drugs. And, this can occur if the drug dealers are nailed. But don't nail them after a kid dies. Nail them sooner. 
And by all means, the coaches, the band directors, the activity directors for the programming efforts for the kids need to challenge the kids to insure that they are NOT turning to the drugs in the first place. 
I'd try much, much harder to celebrate kids and life at the other end of the spectrum -- not where Orie is going.
