Harm Reduction Claims are "Berry" Misleading

As Clallam County prepares a taxpayer-funded messaging push to defend harm reduction, questions grow about whether officials are prioritizing spin over measurable results

In this week’s Sundays with Seegers, County Commissioner candidate Jake Seegers questions why county leaders appear poised to expand public messaging around harm reduction instead of reexamining outcomes. With talk of a Public Information Officer and efforts to counter “misinformation,” he asks whether taxpayer dollars are going toward optics rather than reform. Seegers highlights disputed syringe data and the contrast between supply distribution and treatment-focused efforts like Operation Shielding Hope — arguing residents want measurable results, not better messaging.
