Opinion: Legislature assures uninterrupted supplies for crystal meth production
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Fri, 04/15/2011 - 11:55amThe Nevada legislature just gave the finger to every law enforcement officer who daily puts his or her life on the line in the fight against illegal drugs. Officers like the Carson City deputies who discovered a boy being held in a makeshift home prison by his meth-addicted parents.
The same day that story broke, State Senator Sheila Leslie had to pull a bill that is designed to seriously interrupt the availability of essential ingredients for methamphetamine production, because it didn't have the support it needs to pass the Senate.
It's hardly a surprise.
