Study, Study, Study
The City of Coatesville is one of the most “studied” municipalities on earth.
Let’s put it this way, if the City could tax, cocaine, marijuana, heroin and the businesses that provide them there would be no revenue problem for the City.
What we need to do is change the primary income producing businesses in the City of Coatesville to legal businesses that pay taxes.
Just as Paul Janssen said we need to bring in new people and legal new businesses and at the same time make the streets safe. SEE:
Arresting for “possession with intent to deliver” is an essential part of the illegal drug business in the USA. It guarantees a steady supply of new recruits for the drug business. There is a constant supply of new “college freshmen” arrested for possession with intent to deliver to be educated in the ways of the drug business. Selling drugs or living off of girlfriends is virtually only way they can make a living once they “graduate”. It’s a well proven system that guarantees a steady supply of new street sellers.
West Chester and Coatesville are different sides of the drug selling business. The selling part of the drug business is here in Coatesville; the part that enables the drug business; the “War on Drugs”, the Prohibition part, is in West Chester. Basically I think the drug business is enabled in West Chester and carried out in Coatesville.
West Chester needs the illegal drug business for West Chester’s economic viability. Look at it this way without the “War on Drugs”, there would be no need for a new “Chester County Justice Center” and there would be a lot of unemployed lawyers in West Chester. And I think that some lawyers, judges and other law enforcement people are playing both sides.
In Chester County during Prohibition times of the 1930s, County and municipal government officials profited from Prohibition and the State Police and Feds would try to enforce Prohibition. Local police would warn “rumrunners” if the State Troopers were coming. I beleive the old “rumrunners” just moved into Chester County government when Prohibition ended. The only thing that has changed is the types drugs prohibited.
I am suspicious of “help” that government officials in West Chester offer to Coatesville.
