Corzine: Needle Exchange Priority in His Administration

Governor will push drug needle program:

Gov. Jon Corzine will urge the Legislature to pass a law giving intravenous drug users access to clean needles and would consider using his executive power to force the issue if lawmakers fail to act.

In his first major interview since taking office, Corzine yesterday said he believes needle exchange programs save lives and establishing needle giveaways in New Jersey is a priority in his administration.

Cinnaman - NJ Gov: Cleaner Guns for Criminals

Stressing that the move will prevent unnecessary deaths and amputation, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine today proposed a free gun-cleaning service for the state’s criminals who do not have the funds to pay for maintenance of their illegal weapons.The announcement follows Corzine’s call yesterday for a clean needle exhange service for illegal drug users.

Note: The Cinnaman post is satire. The article about Corzine's needle exchange priority is not.
