Federal plan targets DC drug crime with new measures
National Drug Control Policy chief William Bennett unveiled a federal emergency plan for Washington DC to curb drug related crime. The plan includes new prison space, a local federal strike force, more prosecutors, and eviction of dealers from public housing, with a budget of 70 to 80 million dollars funded by reallocated existing funds. Mayor Marion Barry, who did not attend, welcomed the move while noting crime and drugs are national problems. The plan aims to reduce the city’s high murder rate, with police estimating most killings tied to drugs and rival gangs.
