Needles in the Park > Rexroad.com

I have so much to write about this needle exchange program. Thank you for all the nice calls, e-mails, and letters.

This is something I have opposed from the start.

The original proposal was to not even require an exchange. Needles would just get handed out. Wrong. Yamada and Chamberlain joined me to block that. Thanks to both of them on that.

The Woodland City Council is right to be upset. As far as people saying they did not know anything about it...come on.

I am concerned about two groups of people here. They are the people that clean our parks and the families that use them. For me, the safety of the injection drug user is a very very distant third concern.

My concern for the people that use the parks and the people that clean them will guide my efforts from here on out.

If you notice the final post has an Matier and Ross column on what happened in Golden Gate Park. I passed this out right in the middle of the Board meeting.

These kinds of things are going to continue to be a problem.

If the program is not going to go away let's make it as safe as possible for our kids.
