Drug dealers and the addicts they bury deeper every day now own the parks of Salt Lake City. He still had his bracelet on from his last trip to the ER. @slcmayor @SLCoMayor @GovCox @phil_lyman @Ch_JesusChrist @KSLcom @fox13 @evaforcouncil

This argument here is wildly misleading: "Research shows that involuntary commitment for substance use disorder is less effective and more dangerous. People are more than twice as likely to experience fatal overdoses compared to those in voluntary treatment." Because yes,
Derek Wentorf is correct-- "What I’m seeing in the current proposals isn’t innovation — it’s a return to approaches that research and experience have shown produce worse outcomes at a higher cost." https://t.co/mqxAUgZo3H

@NormieUtah You’re experiencing what happens when a city doesn’t know how to budget or plan. Salt Lake is spiraling, yet taxes keep climbing, and they’ll rise again with the new sales tax. This is what happens when elected officials don’t do their job. Don’t believe me? Parking downtown

@theutahepidemic @slcCouncil @SLCgov @slcmayor @evaforcouncil @AlePuy_SLC @DarinMano @SLCPublicLands This isn't "liberals" versus "conservatives." The situation in SLC is the result of a lack of caring and competence by so many on all sides. You should see my degraded neighborhood, with hundreds of young obnoxious drunk "students" destroying our peaceful enjoyment of our homes

As all of our homeless experts know, getting high in the parks of Stab Lake City is the best way to prepare for job interviews @slcCouncil @SLCgov @slcmayor @evaforcouncil @AlePuy_SLC @DarinMano @SLCPublicLands @KingForUtah @SLCoMayor @ChiefBrianRedd @slcpd @SimGillDA

Even San Francisco gets it
Pretty much 80% of San Francisco wants federal intervention on deporting drug dealers. That's how insane it's been here. 90+ kilos of fentanyl seized in one year by SFPD. 4,300 OD deaths since 2020. Hard data doesn't lie.

The arguments from Utah’s liberals collapse under the weight of oxygen. So they block you. Tremendous diversity and freedom of thought from Utah’s public school teacher of the year. @slcCouncil @SLCgov @slcmayor @evaforcouncil @AlePuy_SLC @DarinMano @SLCPublicLands

If you find this as appalling as I do, I would encourage you to share this with your friends and family, in particular the ones who think we don’t have a public safety problem downtown. Everyone should know what sort of outrageous violence is being perpetrated in the parks of

Consistent pressure over time creates change
For the last several months I’ve served on a task force convened by state leaders & @slcmayor focused on safer neighborhoods. It’s made up of some of the most politically diverse people you could imagine, yet united by an understanding that the status quo is unacceptable.

It’s impossible to understand why anyone would feel unsafe in downtown Stab Lake City @slcCouncil @SLCgov @slcmayor @evaforcouncil @AlePuy_SLC @DarinMano @SLCPublicLands @KingForUtah @SLCoMayor @ChiefBrianRedd @slcpd @SimGillDA @SpencerJCox @GovCox @mschultz_12 @clancy4utah
