As an AIDS-certified registered nurse who has worked with the Santa Clara County Needle Exchange and Harm Reduction Program, I know that this is sound public health policy and is in the best interests of us all. We are fortunate to have a progressive and supportive Board of Supervisors and district attorney in our county. I hope that their wisdom prevails with the state Legislature.
