Engage is joined by El Paso County Commissioner Longinos Gonzalez, Jr. to discuss a troubling story about a drug needle exchange program in El Paso County that local officials were unaware of until recently. Commissioner Gonzalez explains how he found out and the steps he and the Commissioners are taking to get accountability. Additionally, we discuss recent actions the Commissioners took on the gun control legislation known as the so-called “Safe Spaces” bill.
