House Approves Drug Funds
KENTUCKY....
U.S. Congressman Harold "Hal" Rogers has announced the United States House of Representatives has approved $13.45 million to fight drug abuse throughout the country. Locally, the funding will support the ongoing efforts of Operation UNITE. The Senate is expected to vote on this final, comprehensive spending legislation later this year. Rogers says the epidemic of drug abuse has impacted every community and nearly every family in Southern and Eastern Kentucky, and this funding allows us to continue to fight for an addict to get help, a young person to never start, and drug pushers to get out.
