-- Dale Francis, mayor of Paris, Ill.

"There is no doubt that law enforcement alone cannot stop this. It will take a community effort. Everybody from the farm co-ops, the gas stations, convenience stores and retailers, citizens watch groups, legislatures and the judicial system will need to be proactive in going after these people."

-- David Haddix, Sullivan County Sheriff's deputy

"I wish I could have read your articles a couple years ago. Maybe it would have made a difference."

-- Margaret McConnell, from the Sullivan County Jail where she was being held in January on methamphetamine-related charges

"There is hope. There's a better life out there for us."

-- Bridgette Brackall, a recovering meth addict from Terre Haute who is serving time in the Rockville Correctional Facility
