LAST LAUGH? Supervisor Don R. Roth, whose maneuvering squashed Sheriff Brad Gates’ hopes for using the confiscated Rancho del Rio as a drug training center, could only restrain his gloating for two days. . . . Thursday, before the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, Roth said Gates has “always been running around saying ‘no’ to dope, but he’s never had anybody say ‘no’ to him before.” Replied Gates: “I’m sorry to see him make statements like that. It’s pretty obvious that he didn’t vote to help us with the drug war and for officers’ safety. He did it for political reasons.”
