RESOLUTION NO. 89-185
WHEREAS, the sale and use of illegal drugs are facts of life throughout the
United States ; and
WHEREAS, the scope of this serious social problem does not respect city or
state boundaries, but in fact transcends national borders; and
WHEREAS, local resources can attack the inroads drugs have made into
American society only in limited ways; and
WHEREAS, drug abuse is present among all segments of American society, but
insidiously affects young people who ignore evidence that casual use of drugs
often leads to addiction; and
WHEREAS, young people represent the greatest resource of the nation; and
WHEREAS, investments - costly though they may be - need to be made now to
prevent the well-documented costs to Americans in the future from insufficient
efforts to curtail chemical abuse among young people; and
WHEREAS, because these problems are omnipresent throughout the United
States and must be solved on a national level ,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Eden
Prairie, Minnesota, that the Council urges the Government of the United States
of America to articulate and enforce a strong national policy for the control of
illegal drugs.
