San Diego News Desk09 mins

In a bold display of leadership, Mayors Bill Wells of El Cajon and Dane White of Escondido are standing up against the radical leadership styles and misguided strategies proposed by Democrats in San Diego County. As the County considers implementing controversial “Harm Reduction” programs under the guise of helping the homeless, these mayors have voiced their strong opposition, recognizing that such programs only enable rampant drug use and fail to address the root causes of homelessness.

Mayor Bill Wells and Mayor Dane White are united in their condemnation of the “Harm Reduction” strategies that the County is advocating. They refuse to accept a flawed approach that perpetuates the cycle of addiction without offering meaningful solutions. The mayors understand that enabling drug use is not the answer and that it only exacerbates the problems faced by the homeless population. Instead, they call for comprehensive strategies that tackle the root causes, particularly substance abuse, which must be addressed to break the cycle of homelessness.

As concerned leaders, Mayors Wells and White refuse to allow their communities to follow the destructive path of cities like San Francisco. They recognize the need to take immediate action to oppose this misguided proposal. By lending their voices and urging community members to join in opposition, they aim to protect the well-being of their communities and prevent the descent into chaos and devastation.

The call to action is clear – community members must unite to oppose this harmful strategy. Mayors Wells and White emphasize the critical importance of each individual’s input in thwarting the implementation of this flawed approach. By sharing this vital information with family, friends, and neighbors, the collective voice of the community can be amplified, sending a powerful message that the enabling of drug use is not a solution to the complex issue of homelessness.

By rallying together, community members can make a resounding impact and safeguard their streets from becoming breeding grounds for addiction and despair. Mayors Bill Wells and Dane White provide a beacon of hope, inspiring others to stand against flawed leadership and advocate for genuine, lasting solutions to homelessness.

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The County of San Diego is considering implementing “Harm Reduction” strategies they claim will help homeless people.

The problem is, the so-called “Harm Reduction” strategies are highly controversial, and not even supported by local Mayors.

Escondido Mayor Dane White and El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells have both voiced their opposition to allowing the county’s “Harm Reduction” programs into their city’s, as they say the program simply enables homeless people to continue their rampant drug use.

El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells joined KUSI’s Good Morning San Diego as he explained how San Diego County’s current leadership has followed in Nathan Fletcher’s footsteps, with their refusal to listen to any opposition to their policies, especially this one.

KUSI’s Paul Rudy pointed out liberal cities like San Francisco have already tried this method, and it failed. Wells questioned why county leaders think it will be any different in San Diego.

Mayor Bill Wells sent out the following email detailing his position to supporters:

I write to you today with deep concern and frustration regarding a distressing policy that the County of San Diego may implement.

The County is shamefully considering implementing “Harm Reduction” strategies under the guise of addressing homelessness. This ill-conceived plan involves distributing free needles, crack pipes, and other drug paraphernalia to homeless individuals living on the streets. Here are more of the items:

• Sterile syringes;
• Personal sharps disposal containers;
• Safer injection and wound care supplies;
• Naloxone;
• Fentanyl test strips;
• Condoms and lube packets with instructions;
• Educational information on HIV, STDs, and viral hepatitis transmission prevention;
• Safer smoking supplies ( including pipe covers, mouthpieces, foil sheets, clean glass stems, and bubblers)

We cannot stand idly by as our community risks descending into the same depths of chaos and devastation that have plagued cities like San Francisco. I refuse to accept this misguided approach that merely perpetuates the cycle of addiction without addressing the root cause of homelessness, substance abuse. How can we, as concerned citizens, tolerate a system that worsens the problems it aims to solve?

We have a chance to stop this, and I urge you to take immediate action and lend your voice to oppose this absurd proposal. Your input can make a critical difference in thwarting this harmful strategy and safeguarding the well-being of our community.

Together, we can send a powerful message that we refuse to allow our streets to become a breeding ground for addiction and despair.

Please, share this critical information with your family, friends, and neighbors. Mobilize them to join us in this fight for the soul of our community.

Thank you for standing with us in this battle to preserve the dignity and well-being of our fellow citizens. Together, we can vehemently reject the notion that giving drug paraphernalia can solve the complex issue of homelessness.
