Martha Garnica was in league with a Mexican drug cartel and allowed large shipments of drugs to pass through the border, mostly by having her or other corrupted guards at a specific aisle at the check point. Maybe a possible solution to that would be to have vehicles randomly assigned to lanes by a computer using a random number generator. Another, a better solution, is to legalize marijuana. Because she’s not the only one.
And in other corruption news
Former Mayor of Hartford CT Eddie Perez, once a genuine progressive and great hope for that city, got three years for corruption based on the remodeling of his home and cover up thereof.
Look like a bunch of tweakers to me.
That bitch is evil. Like the one that offed the nine year old down there.
Wonder how many rigs rolled through there with a dozen or more ‘illegals’?
Tweakers. Got nothing to do with weed.
Worms of the Earth
They may be tweakers but were busted for letting several hundred pounds of marijuana through at a time.
Did you say “several hunded pounds”? Yikes, that would supply Cedar City for almost a week, or Los Angeles for about 1.7 minutes. It’s a pittance in the estimated U.S. annual consumption of up to 20,000 metric tons (44 million pounds), about half of which is imported. Sounds to me like she was a sacrificial lamb while the big fish continue to swim freely.
Good point. She was only paying her confederates a few hundred / thousand per load too. Chump change.
Implying an orchestration of a higher order.
As I observed before, maybe Oregon is different… but in this little gig I’ve got going for the next six weeks I’ve had opportunity to poll every corner of Oregon – from Portland to Burns, Pendleton to Gold Beach – the past couple of weeks and nobody, nobody I’ve interviewed buys Mexican (or Colombian) weed. Either grow their own, buy or receive prescription grade locally, or (Portland/Metro) smoke BC weed.
There’s something bigger going on here and weed’s just the scapegoat.
Interesting.. Although in your area it’s de facto legal and grown locally. But I agree, something else is going on with the Mexico cartel wars.
