Sgt. Josh Petker addresses Twisp Town Council on Sept. 9 on the five-fold fee increase to participate in the narcotics task force.

Sgt. Josh Petker of the North Central Washington Narcotics Task Force (NCWNTF) presented a dire choice to the Twisp Town Council on Sept. 9- the town needs to contribute $25,000 to combat narcotics trafficking and organized crime or it would cease operations in Twisp.

The fee is a decrease from $50,000 initially contemplated
