I have lived on the Southside for 5 years between Elmwood and Broad. Real neighborhood. No issues with crime myself despite the persistent negative stereotypes… petty stuff I’m sure happens everywhere… packages taken off front porch etc..

Note to Dems: GOP talk more about overdose than anyone else. They are owning an issue that they have no ideas to address and Dems stay silent. Building a wall won’t work just like the War on Drugs didn’t work. Let’s talk about what we need to do: HARM REDUCTION AND RECOVERY SERVICES NOW at every little.

I am running for City Council and I would not support this ordinance without hearing about the following… does second hand smoke outside endanger others? How many nuisance come into city council from the smell of weed? I’m assuming it’s the smell that bothers people more than the smoke? What is the enforcement mechanism? I’m sort of over laws without enforcement that semi-moralize an activity but then accomplish little… For people who have traveled to other parts of the world where things like public container laws are not a thing, there is not rampant public drunkenness. Quite the opposite. Also— when it comes to issues of drug policy, government should consult people with lived experience: people in recovery from substance use and/or active consumers— somehow I doubt the City explored their opinion on this, but I would love to be wrong…
