Drug Policy Alliance Reacts To Hochul’s State Of The State
In Tuesday’s State of the State address, Governor Hochul stated her her commitment to make substance use treatment, education and prevention a priority, including recognizing the need to keep people out of jails and prisons. One notable absence from her plan is the funding and expansion of overdose prevention centers. Toni Smith-Thompson, Director of the NYS Drug Policy Alliance, discusses the issues with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
