To the people of Haines:
The borough empathizes with the authors of the paid commentary (April 4, p. 4) attempting to document drug issues in our community. The Haines Police Chief is working with the Mayor, service providers and medical professionals as a Drug Task Force to ascertain the need for resources to address this issue. Solutions to drug issues will not be found solely through enforcement, though this aspect of community wellness is certainly important. As the work of the task force progresses, the administration will ensure that recommended resources are applied.
In service,
Debra Schnabel, Borough Manager
