As we move forward in Haywood County with new Conservative Leadership, please remember that Harm Reduction and Needle Exchange Policies are still strongly supported by most local Non-Profits, The Town of Waynesville Aldermen, and the Haywood County Commission Chairman. We are fortunate to have the (First In NC) Needle Resolution, however, we need much more regulation (County Ordinance or NC State Law) to reign in the extensive Needle Litter-Drug Addiction-Crime problem currently in Haywood County and NC. Please again Study and Share the information below:

1. Harm Reduction-Needle Exchanges First Proposed in 1999 by George Soros:
https://www.thenation.com/article/archi ... ange-trip/
* "As an alternative to locking people up, most Soros-backed groups advocate what they call HARM REDUCTION, a common sense approach to drug policy that would be a radical departure from current practice"
* "Harm-reduction groups are also fighting to expand NEEDLE-EXCHANGE programs"
* "Soros has made major grants for needle exchanges"
* "Critics charge that while HARM REDUCTION sounds reasonable, it will only lead to increased drug use, with all its attendant social ills"
* "He (Soros) has funded methadone-treatment and needle exchange programs". ($30 million as of 1999)
* He (Soros) had been labeled in the 1990's as, "the mastermind behind a global drug cartel"
* "Soros is the Daddy Warbucks of drug legalization"

2. President Biden wants Federal Funding for Harm Reduction Policies, including Needles and Crack Smoking Kits:

5. Haywood County's Commission Chairman touts Data from a 2008 Needle Exchange Study, from San Francisco, claiming reduced Needle Litter. The 14 year old study has been debunked repeatedly:

6. The Result for Haywood County-Waynesville is Needle Litter and High Crime. Neighborhood Scout, endorsed by the U.S. State Dept. and Homeland Security, gives Waynesville the worst possible Crime Index (1).
