STORY SMELLS WRONG
I don't believe in trial by newspaper. A man is innocent until proven guilty. But Johnston Mayor Bill Macera comes out of your Oct. 5 story literally smelling bad -- reeking of marijuana ( "Johnston police: Mayor 'smelled' of marijuana " ).
It would be a far more serious a matter if the mayor had been driving under the influence of the still-popular but still-illegal drug. I agree with Froma Harrop ( "U.S. not going straight to pot," Commentary, Spt. 13: "Some day, the sale and possession of marijuana will be legal from sea to shining sea."
Bill Macera was my philosophy of religion instructor at CCRI. I got a B in his course. My impression of the ex-priest is that he is a good and decent man. But it is very challenging to reform Johnston, R.I.
I am not writing this letter under the influence of pot.
