(The above reply note was in response to the following, below, 'Austin Rants and Raves' personals-section Craigslist item I wrote and posted at about 12:39 a.m. today, that was entitled: "Why do Council members never demand info re: drug-addiction rate? (Austin)". 

My own most recent duly-elected District 10 City Council member, who was sworn into office in early January 2017, is Dr. Alison Alter. Dr. Alter has a PhD in Political Economy and Government from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. --- jkm)

(THE EXACT VERBATIM TEXT OF THE 'AUSTIN RANTS AND RAVES' SECTION CRAIGSLIST POSTING FROM MYSELF EARLIER TODAY:)


Why do Council members never demand info re: drug-addiction rate? (Austin)

The new district-representation system for Austin City Council members was partly designated, I had hoped, to promote the dissemination of factual public-policy information relating to each and every district of this state capital city of Austin.

Despite this, I don't recall any current Austin City Council member ever being publicly quoted as DEMANDING from a governmental official, such as interim City Manager Elaine Hart, a reliable current estimate on the percentage of all teenage or all adult residents of that council member's own district of Austin who are currently addicted to marijuana or any other illicit drug.

Is the drug-addiction-rate for the cited Council member's district 60 percent, 50 percent, 40 percent, 30 percent, 25 percent, 20 percent, or (and this is very, very unlikely in hippie-crazed Austin) as low as 10 percent?

What might explain this alarming void in the way of questions being asked by the current Austin City Council members?

I reside in District 10 of Austin, and several months ago I sent a polite e-mail letter to my duly-elected District 10 City Council member at that time, Sheri Gallo, in which I asked her for an estimate on the percentage of all residents of District 10 in Austin who are illicit drug addicts.

Council Member Gallo's "response" to my public-policy question was to completely ignore my question. She sent me no reply of any type.

Perhaps my question today should be:

Which of the current City Council members, if any, have expressed the most concern about the very alarming current illicit-drug-addiction crisis either throughout our capital city of Austin, or in their particular district of Austin?

(EXPLANATORY NOTE ADDED BY ME AT ABOUT 8 A.M. TODAY  AS A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ABOVE CRAIGSLIST POSTING:
The following is the full exact verbatim text of the unanswered e-mail letter of mine last year to then-Council Member Sheri Gallo that is cited above in my 'Austin Rants and Raves' posting for Craigslist. Ms. Gallo is a longtime State Government of Texas-licensed real estate agent in Austin:
_____

(Subject:) question for Ms. Gallo re: illicit-drug-addiction rate in this district

(Date and time:) June 5 (2016) at 7:21 am.

(From:) John McMillan (at E-mail address of: "mcmillanj@att.net")

(To:) Austin City Council Member Gallo (2016) (at Ms. Gallo's official Austin City Council E-mail address of "district10@austintexas.gov")

Dear Austin City Council Member Gallo,

Your assistant Jennifer Burkhardt (sp?) stated to me on the telephone on May 23, 2016, at about 11:40 a.m. that you yourself are willing to accept questions from me relating to District 10 per se, Ms. Burkhardt emphasized.

Council Member Gallo, are you able at this time to provide me with a reliable estimate on the percentage of all residents of District 10 here in Austin, Texas, who are themselves addicted to marijuana or cocaine or any other illicit drug?

My follow-up question on that is this:
Council Member Gallo, do you support financial incentives by the City of Austin to businesses in town that do require random-drug-testing on any and all of their employees and work supervisors?

Thank you in advance for your very helpful reply note on this.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
