Hope for Charleston?

from Mothman in the Bible Belt Hosted by Buck Fantastic

Charleston, West Virginia is a dead zone when it comes to readily available good paying opportunities. Poverty, drug addiction and crime thrive in Charleston. Police brutality geared towards black people and the homeless are common occurrences. Homeless encampments and panhandling have become the norm in Downtown Charleston and on the West Side. HIV rates among IV injection users are rising. Last year Charleston City Council moved to make it a misdemeanor crime for anyone to operate a harm reduction program without having it first licensed with the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health. The issue at hand is needs-based verses one-for-one harm reduction programs. Charleston Mayor Amy Goodwin isn't doing much to address these societal ills. She's more concerned with beautifying the city and painting over the ugliness that exists here than taking bold corrective action to make Charleston a thriving city for all. Democratic mayoral candidate Martec Washington shares his vision for Charleston and how he will reverse these trends if elected. Copyright © 2022 Jeremy Brannon. All Rights Reserved.
