Dear editor, Underage drinking is against the law (Rumors true’and false, May 19). I am outraged at our law enforcement. If this was my kid I would have wanted him ticketed. Hand-holding, coddling and free rides do nothing for these kids. They learned they could get away with this. Bad choices should result in bad […]
