For those wondering who Alex Acosta is, he's our new U.S. Attorney, and he's started with a bang: 29 people -- mostly Miami-Dade school employees -- were arrested today in an oxycontin ring: "Of those charged in an 84-count federal grand jury indictment unsealed Thursday, five are Miami-Dade school bus drivers, 13 are school bus attendants and one is a former school bus driver now driving a city bus. Two school custodians, a cook and a cashier were also charged, along with a Miami doctor and five other people." Read more in this
Sun-Sentinel article. The article says more arrests are coming and Acosta stated, "We felt it prudent and necessary to take action with the information we already had.'' Although no teachers have been arrested, this will be an interesting story to follow and I'm sure the teacher blogs (
like South Florida Educators) will be discussing it...
It's time to start hailing Jose Canseco for taking on Major League Baseball. Hopefully his efforts will clean up the game and allow youngsters all over the world to avoid the pressures to use illegal drugs.
