AGENTS GOING TO POT

As I read "Agents Seize Pot Harvest Near Ojai" (Sept. 26) I could not help 
wondering how much it cost in tax dollars for the police to find and 
destroy 7,000 cannabis plants. They referenced "months of surveillance" and 
use of helicopters. I guess county and federal agents have so much money 
and free time that they don't have to worry that their officers are hiking 
in the woods and flying around in helicopters instead of investigating 
murders, rapes and robberies.
