RESOLUTION OF THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES
SUPPORTING THE IMPOSITION OF THE PENALTY OF
LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR THOSE CONVICTED OF
SELLING DEADLY DRUGS FOR PROFIT
The League of California Cities does hereby resolve as
follows:
WHEREAS, drug abuse has been an increasingly serious
problem, and
WHEREAS, there is a growing consensus among people
involved in law enforcement that a majority of serious crime in
this state is attributable to substance abuse, and
WHEREAS, illegal drugs sold on the street such as PCP,
crack, and methamphetamine have become increasingly more
dangerous, and
WHEREAS, the cost to society of soaring crime and
societal breakdown economically and morally is unacceptable, and
WHEREAS, in light of the enormous profits to be made in
-the illicit drug trade, existing sentences do not provide a
eterrent adequate to protect society.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the League of
California Cities, assembled in Annual Conference in San
Francisco, October, 1989, supports legislation to provide a
penalty of life imprisonment for those convicted of selling
deadly drugs for profit.
