The grinding wheels of government
In 2004, Stan Swofford wrote a series about the crack epidemic in Guilford County. A day after the series, we quoted Skip Alston saying that the county should build a long-term treatment center for crack addicts, a facility that mental health and drug treatment officials say Guilford County critically needs.
"We know that's what we need to do," Alston said. "Let's get off our butts and do it." Alston said he's looking for sources of money, including a possible bond referendum.
Two years later, the commissioners agree to do it.
Next October.
