OPINION

To the Messenger:

I’m writing this letter in reference to an article that was ran in your paper about a week ago. Yes, there is a problem with drugs in our county, but I think the most relevant one that we have the problem with is underage drinking. I have lived here in Meade for almost 15 years now. My oldest child has graduated from the school system.
