I don’t know what rock you’ve been living under, because I offered many solutions. Among them is accountability. In the campaign I recommended opening up more treatment beds - happy to see we inched in that direction. Also a regional distributed model of service delivery so…
I will donate $200 to the charity of @Stephen_Andrew’s choice if he actually responds with a solution that is as detailed as his reporting of the problem.
@Stephen_Andrew I’m a man of my word, donation below. There is no doubt that things are getting bad downtown but it seems like we have a bunch of angry people screaming into the ether with no dialog about what can be done. And I believe with your tweets you are fueling that. Let’s say next…
Missing kayakers. So very sad to learn that two bodies have been found in the waters off Washington State. The two missing men left to paddle the glorious Salish Sea. I live in Sidney and love sharing it with visitors. I send much sympathy to all touched by this tragedy.
