My first story for @denverpost.com:
Later today, Denver City Council will vote on whether to allow an unlimited number of needle exchange programs in the city. The proposal would also allow the sites to open within 1,000 feet of schools/daycares. www.denverpost.com/2025/01/13/d...

Should Denver allow more needle exchange programs? Some council members — and the mayor — aren’t sure.
Denver would eliminate its limit on the number of needle exchange programs that can operate in the city and remove restrictions on their location under a new ordinance set for a final vote Monday.
