I'm a Bellevue dad, and I support a science-based, progressive approach to the opioid crisis that is impacting every "neighborhood" (Phil, that one's for you), city, state, and the entire country. Check out the research, check out the data, and  have a heart.

I'm not saying I want junkies shooting up in my backyard (Jared, that one's for you) but that I understand it's a shared problem and requires a thoughtful, forward-looking, shared solution, not dog-whistle pandering to knee-jerk identity politics. Let's be transparent (yo, Steve!), compassionate, and thoughtful, and set a good example for our children.
