Former Gov. Ed Rendell announced that he is incorporating a nonprofit, called Safehouse, that will work to open a safe injection site in Philadelphia. Responding to a threat by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein that federal law enforcement would crack down on a site if one were to open, Rendell told WHYY: "My address is in the offices of the Bellevue and he [Rosenstein] can come and arrest me first." This isn't the first time Rendell has volunteered to be arrested. In July of 1992, then-Mayor Rendell authorized the establishment of a syringe exchange program — a measure to prevent the transmission of HIV. Looking back, Rendell says that the exchange is "a universally acclaimed success and none of the supposed downsides ever really existed."
