[HARMRED] Governor Chris Christie Signs OTC Syringe Legislation

[jsotheran at aol.com]

Excellent point, especially when Christie's visibility seems to be rising.  Roseanne,congrats on this, and thank you for all the hard work you've done on this.  Not least of which -- I hate to say it -- is spending all that time in Trenton itself. :-)      -- J

Fantastic! This is a particularly good time to have a Republican governor with a national profile on the record in support of expanding syringe access.

Friends,
 
Governor Chris Christie just signed our OTC syringe bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Nine years of hard work!  Up to ten syringes at a time.  18 age limit.  Legal protection for buyers. 
 
Here is a quote from Governor Christie:
 
“I commend the sponsors for putting forward legislation that seeks to reduce injection-related diseases. Stopping the spread of injection-related diseases in New Jersey is a primary public health concern that requires a comprehensive approach.”
 
Yes!!!!!!!
