17 suspected Orleans County drug dealers identified
The Daily News reported on April 2, 2009 on the identities of the 17 drug dealer suspects in Orleans County who were arrested in drug raids. You can read the story by clicking here.
That's a good question. Do you have any ideas about it?
Orleans County is one of the poorest counties in New York State and has one of the highest unemployment rates.
Drug dealing certainly keeps the police and correction officers employed.
Of course, without a demand there would be no supply. So do you think that the demand is influenced more signficantly by the economic situation or the supply?
