JUVENILE SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAMS NEEDED

Mayor Apana and County Council, it's almost time for election, right? Where
are the juvenile substance-abuse programs you promised. It's so bad and
there's no detention home, no boot camp here, also no in-house drug court
for juveniles. I sure hope whoever will be our next mayor will start his job
right.

Come on, people, you need to voice your feelings about juvenile substance
abuse. Big Island, Honolulu get everything. We taxpayers have nothing here
in Maui for our children and grandchildren.

We the people put you in your seats, how's about following what you all say.
I'm a concerned grandmother and angry with all these promises and nothing
being done right. We need to help our children now, not when it's too late.
They could be our future, mayor, council, attorney, doctors, better parents.

This is a cry for help. Think and think hard.
