Rick Boucher's Failed "Tourism Jobs" - Come On Down and See Our Meth Labs!
Jerry From on High and Charlie at Good Sense both take issue with the growing Meth problem in SWVA. High unemployment always lead to increased crime, but I never dreamed we would see meth labs in abundance in SWVA. Charlie's info states:
- 26 meth labs were seized in Washington County alone in 2005
- Approximately 80 to 90 percent of Washington County’s crime is drug related
- We’re starting to see a large influx of meth from out of state.
That is some scary stuff. When I was young the worst thing was drinking some booze and smoking a little homegrown. No one was dying or stealing except for the rare traffic accident that was a result of intoxication. If a neighbor was stealing or messing with powdered drugs they were told on or received a ass whooping by the partiers. Those people gave the weekend drunks and potheads a bad name. Things took care of themselves.
Jerry blames some of this on our Feckless congress critter Rick Boucher. His failed tourism B/S and his lack of recruiting real jobs has definitely promoted high unemployment. Boucher's Folly indeed. We deserve better.

post a commentIf I had specific info, I'd imagine that most of the mobile labs are captured either on or very close to the I-81 corridor, but I'm just speculating there.
