Sympathy is extended to the fam- ily in their loss.

1. Protect Colorado County Families. I will end the current practice of plea bargaining with cocaine dealers for probated sen- tences. They should be in prison and not on probation.

2. Follow the Law. The County Attorney's policy of requiring a $1500 payment to his private corporation to obtain a probated sen- tence was ruled illegal by the Attorney General. Fines should be paid to Colorado County and not to a private corporation.

3. Put Victims First. Our victims are waiting too long for justice and restitution. We have over three times as many cases awaiting action on our court dockets than does Fayette County. I want to re- organize the County Attorney's office to get our dockets under con- trol without increasing the budget.

4. Work for the Taxpayers. Convicted felons in our county jail are housed, fed, and receive medical treatment at taxpayers' expense until the County Attorney prepares the paperwork for transfer to state prison. This should be done in one week instead of six weeks. A large seizure case on July 1, 1997 has been awaiting action for over 2>/2 years. Large drug forfeiture cases need to be given priority to get the money for our local law enforcement agencies.
