Brooks stated, “At the national level, the politics of addiction seems to focus on stopping the flow of fentanyl from Mexico and on calls to better secure the border from drug traffickers. The rationale seems to be that if the flow of fentanyl is stopped and the border secured, then the addiction problem is solved. Frankly, in my opinion, that rationale is a pipe dream. Anyone who has taken basic economics has learned about the law of supply and demand.”
Councilor Brooks also stated, “I am proud of this community for the support we give to those fighting for sobriety or recovery.”
