Correction: Pence Needle Exchanges story
INDIANAPOLIS — In a story Jan. 5 about an Indiana proposal that would allow local officials to establish needle exchange programs, The Associated Press, relying on outdated information on a state-run needle exchange website, reported erroneously that three of the state’s counties have active programs. The Indiana State Department of Health says seven counties have active programs and two others have state approval to start them.
