Letters to the Editor

This letter is being written in response to Ritchy Dube's comments in his Rap Session column in regard to people either unwilling or unable to accept sober alcoholics/addicts and ex-cons as equals (as counsellors).

In 2005, Dr. Roger Strasser made a total of $368,595. That's $80,000 more than the year before. If he worked a 40 hour week, for 52 weeks, he would make $177 an hour.
