New
Jersey
Needle
Exchange
Update
6/25/04
This morning, prior to press
time but too late to write a full-fledged article or newsbrief, we received
updated information on important developments in the needle exchange issue
in New Jersey. We will report on this next week, but in the meantime
wanted to get the news out:
First, Camden's City Council
has adopted an ordinance proposed by councilman Ali Sloan-El to create
a city-run needle exchange program, the second such ordinance in the state
after Atlantic City's passed in May.
Second, the Atlantic County
prosecutor has filed a complaint in court seeking to block Atlantic City
from implementing its ordinance.
