Senator O'Mara's weekly column 'From the Capitol' ~ for the week of September 26, 2016 ~ 'Building a response without boundaries'

We know that treatment and recovery services are cornerstones of this ongoing battle against heroin and opioid addiction. I look forward to continue working with Governor Cuomo and his administration, my colleagues on the Senate Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Addiction, and local leaders, law enforcement officers and concerned citizens, to keep doing our best to strengthen the state-local-federal partnership that's so desperately needed to effectively combat this epidemic. We’re just at the beginning, we know that. But we’re hopeful that it’s a strong beginning, We know that there’s an across-the-board consensus to keep building on what we’ve started. We need a response without boundaries.
