Editorial Drug Dilemma Scott vetoes bill offering treatment report by the Florida Department of Corrections showed that 26.1 percent of all prisoners admitted for the fiscal year 2010-2011 were incarcerated for non-vi- Aolent drug offenses, the most common type of offense for the year. As of June 30, 2011, non-violent drug offenders made up 18.4 percent of the total inmate population, still the most of any crime. In terms of those incarcerated for mere possession of drugs (in other words, those not convicted of trafficking, manufactur- ing, selling or purchasing drugs), this group made up 26.8 per- cent of all non-violent drug offenders for the same fiscal year. Because drug laws are largely enforced at the federal level, the statistics for drug offenders under federal jurisdiction are even more grim. A report by the U.S. Justice Department found that 51.1 percent of federal inmates were incarcerated for drug offenses. A bill that passed the Florida House of Representatives by 112-4 and the Florida Senate by 40-0 would have helped drug- addicted inmates receive treatment after serving half of their sentence. According to the Miami Herald, the program would have only helped non-violent drug offenders, as long as they met certain conditions such as good behavior. Unfortunately for these inmates, guilty of nothing but being Column addicted to drugs, Gov. Rick Scott vetoed the bill on Friday. The bill was sponsored by Sen.

It’s a mantra that UF coach Kevin O’Sullivan has re- peated all season. “The bottom line is we go as they go.” Through weeks of good wins and a recent stretch of bad losses, O’Sullivan made it clear the Gators will only reach their potential if stars like Mike Zunino, Preston Tucker and Brian Johnson do the same. It was the reason why Johnson started on a Tuesday night in Tallahassee after opening a weekend series against LSU five days be- fore. “If we hadn’t been in the situation we were in, having lost five of seven, maybe things would have been differ- ent, but I thought we needed a win,” O’Sullivan said after the game. Against No. 1 FSU, the guiding figures were there. Zu- nino had two hits, including a two-run homer in the fifth. Tucker had a hit, while Nolan Fontana and Johnson each notched solo homers. Johnson’s start lasted just three in- nings, accounting for all three FSU runs. But climbing out of a rut took more than the Gators rolling out their list of 2012 Major League Baseball Draft prospects. Brett Le Blanc / Alligator Staff Johnson’s rough start could have spiraled into a Semi- noles run-scoring derby had it not been for Ryan Harris, Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan talks to the media following Tuesday night’s win against Florida State. O’Sullivan said a previously sparingly used right-handed freshman who he started junior Brian Johnson because the Gators needed a win against the Seminoles after a recent slide. retired nine batters in a row and picked up the win. Zunino’s home run wouldn’t have meant as much had “He’s a pest, man,” Zunino said of Turgeon. “I Three of Harris’ previous seven appearances had come freshman second baseman Casey Turgeon not singled be- wouldn’t want to pitch against him.
