I believe if we come out of this with a new kind of jail, the new way that jail is run as you see actually in the state of kentucky, 2000 jails during
The Senate Committee on Health Education labor and Pensions Committee will come to order. Debbie talk about the Opioid Crisis the number one Public Health changes good out witness todays sam quinones. The author of dreamland, a true tale of americas Opioid Epidemic. Senator murray and i will each have an Opening Statement and then i will introduce the witness. Then we will hear from mr. Sam quinones and senators will each have five minutes of questions.
