what? you call that a sentence? 30 days for a DUI and three times the expense....$10,000 fine for letting people smoke in the bar..... If we want to fight the meth problem they're gonna have to do better than that. I'm sick and tired of Drug possession/sales sentences being a slap on the wrist. Ridiculous.
