(11:30) Santa Cruz – Two of Santa Cruz’s county supervisors have sent a letter to Assemblymember Eggman, to take Santa Cruz County off a pilot supervised injection services program. Assembly Bill 186 would allow heroin addicts to shoot up in a supervised injection site. In a letter to Assemblymember Eggman, Supervisors Ryan Coonerty and Bruce McPherson stated that Santa Cruz is actively working on strategies to address opioid addiction, but an injection services program is not part of the county’s approach. The Safe Injection Site Bill is scheduled to go before the state assembly public safety committee tomorrow.
