CLEAN NEEDLES SENSIBLE
The decision not to give Milwaukee County funds for a needle exchange
program flies in the face of sound public health principles and common logic.
If any of the supervisors who voted against the exchange program were
suffering from a moral dilemma of vast dimension, they could rid themselves
of it by asking the question: If my spouse, son or daughter were addicted
to intravenous drugs, would I want them to use clean needles? End of story.
