California Gov. Gavin Newsom FINALLY takes action and vetoes bill allowing legal drug-injection sites after San Francisco's pilot scheme became open-air narcotics market plagued with crime
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday vetoed a bill that would have allowed cities to open supervised drug-injection sites

  • The idea of the bill was to provide drug addicts with controlled substances in a supervised environment, where they could be connected with rehab specialists

  • Trained staff would also be able to respond in case of an overdose

  • But in a veto letter on Monday, Newsom said he has concerns about the 'unintended consequences' of these injection sites

  • A pilot program in San Francisco resulted in addicts openly taking drugs in the middle of the day, with school kids forced to walk home through the grisly scene
