“One area of growing concern in my home state of Colorado is the production, distribution and use of methamphetamines. To help law enforcement address this problem, I pushed for designation and funding of the Rocky Mountain HIDTA which is operating in many regions of the state, and secured additional funding in the Treasury subcommittee for a methamphetamine initiative through the Office of National Drug Control Policy. I also have supported budget increases for the Drug Enforcement Administration, but believe that agency can do much more, especially to help Western Colorado. The Western Slope of Colorado is becoming a major drug transit point because of its close proximity to I-70, its easy access to trains, buses and planes, and the large geographic areas which law enforcement officers have to patrol.”
