Everyone is going to do what they want to do regardless of anyones opinion, thats the bottom line. So if there's a way to maintain a "healthy addiction" by having whats needed instead of sharing items spreading diseases then why not? The same people would be doing same thing but dirtier and unsafe.

It would help save lives if people are able to have the test strips and narcan available. New needles will lesson sharing of used needles. Rehab only works if the person is ready. Having all the info for a program is also a good idea to hand out as well. I think it's a great idea.

You're enabling their addiction, not helping them. Stop coddling them we should not have to let our children grow up seeing this as a social norm.

Rotating minimizes the possibility of corruption which our city has experienced, its ashame that mayor walked away with nothing more than probation. lets not let it happen again.

YES. The system has been working just fine for several years now. Avoid any lawsuits and keep it this way.

I have always thought voting a mayor is better than the rotation of a mayor. With the rotation, the mayor becomes only a spokesperson for the council The voters should elect based on the agenda of the mayor And it allows for consistency with staff.

Mayors should be elected. The whole rotating mayor debacle has been embarrassing for our city.

One person can be directly responsible for implementing their agenda and keep it on track instead of having to rotate every year.
