Letcher County Vows To Keep Juvenile Drug Court
KENTUCKY....
Letcher County officials say, on June 8th, two kids will graduate from their juvenile drug court. Those officials say, although the state's judicial system is losing seven million dollars in budget cuts, and one service being eliminated is the juvenile drug courts program, they're determined to keep their program...even if it means using county money to fund it. The program will cost them about 30 thousand dollars, but they consider the money well spent if it can help save one child from drugs. As a temporary solution, they're using saved money to keep the program going.
