I hope this change in job position will bring changes to current soft approaches to ( panhandling at local shopping areas) ( drug addicts camping on public property) or camping on commercial business property) ( requirements for mandatory treatment programs for those whom are drug dependent and have received narcan , by medics for revival)
Stricter drug laws , make illegal substances a felony. Open more jails and in patient drug treatment programs . As Mandorory treatment, or people can opt to move to another state, where illegal drug use is allowed. Letting drug addicts camp everywhere in Tacoma WA is hurting the environment.
Enabling the continuation of drug lifestyle, is hurting the drug addicts and the citizens of this city.
Support the ENDING of sanctuary state status. There would be no fight for ICE, services to needed if , federal laws are upheld. No sanctuary status for WA state.
Unfortunately the city manager serves at the direction of the city council .
