Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on Tuesday vetoed a new law to expand access to needle exchanges, one day after the measure was passed by the City Council. Johnston described the ordinance as “the wrong solution at the wrong time” in a letter to the City Council released by his office Tuesday night. “I support harm reduction strategies and also believe we need to place more emphasis on connecting individuals from needle exchange programs to substance misuse services to help them break the cycle of addiction,” Johnston wrote. The ordinance would have allowed an unlimited number of needle exchanges in areas zoned for medical offices and removed the 1,000-foot buffer between the sites and schools or day cares. In the veto letter, Johnston wrote there is “no reason” to remove the cap on needle exchange programs in the city and claimed there is no evidence that providers need an unlimited number of sites or that Denver residents want them. Johnston also claimed the use of syringes for drugs has declined and the city’s providers are able to meet the current need. The mayor also objected to removing “common sense setbacks” for the sites, according to the letter. Three needle exchange programs operate in Denver, with the first opening in 2011 because of limitations in state law. Denver City Council approved the measure on an 8-5 vote on Monday.

If the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal goes according to the current draft, then fighting will stop in Gaza for 42 days, and dozens of Israeli hostages and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will be freed. In this first phase Israeli troops will pull back to the edges of Gaza, and many Palestinians will be able to return to what remains of their homes as stepped-up aid flows in. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The question is if the ceasefire will survive beyond that first phase. That will depend on even more negotiations meant to begin within weeks.
