I became aware of the Milwaukee City-County Heroin, Opioid and Cocaine Task Force in the spring of 2017. The Task Force was created in January 2017. I began looking at the documentation collected to date and realized they were ignoring the elephant in the room: prohibition.

This is the first of my public comments to the task Force. Here is a link to the whole Task Force meeting from which my 3 minute comment is taken: http://milwaukee.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=1342

Please note this correction to my comments. I said "we", meaning the U.S. Government, imported crack cocaine into South LA as part of funding the Contras and I should have said they were importing cocaine.
