Ledell Zellers: Belittling those trying to fix alcohol problems isn’t helpful

Dear Editor: In a recent column Doug Moe seemed to be making some points that seem odd to me. The first is that because something has been a problem for a long time, such as the overconsumption of alcohol downtown, it should therefore not be addressed.

….Addressing the problem of the overconcentration of bars downtown with their statistically related violence and police calls does not preclude addressing the problem of money-making house parties serving to underage patrons.
