Call each of our Representatives and ask that if there is money left in the State Transportation Bills this session to please fund drug sniffing dogs at the Anacortes and Friday Harbor Ferry Terminals.Presently we have bomb sniffing dogs and are glad of that but we would like to get a bite into our drug problem here on the islands.
