STOP KNOCKING SULLIVAN

Too much time, effort and taxpayers' money is being spent on the 
issue of Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan giving money to addicts so they 
could buy drugs.

Sullivan provided this money more than five years ago, before he became mayor.

He did what he thought was appropriate at the time.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20 and he admits he would not do it again, so 
why do we keep having to rehash the issue?

At least he looked at the problem of addiction, which too many of us 
would like to ignore.
