DON'T PUT INJECTION SITE DOWNTOWN

RE: Safe injection sites in Hamilton

One needs only to stroll just north on John Street at King Street to
see what the methadone clinic has done to our downtown core. Pretty
much all the buildings on both sides of the clinic (east side of John)
are closed and boarded up. As my time as a police officer walking the
beat in the core, I broke up many a fight out front of the clinic, and
arrested a number of drug dealers hanging around preying on the meth
addicts.

We don't want another repeat of this "communal disaster plan" in our
core!
