National Emergency Status

Some special commission wants opiate abuse to be declared a national emergency — if the money that isĀ meant to be allocated for emergency response, for recovery from tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes gets directed to the “war” on drugs, I hope someone can find standing to sue. Some actual disaster that is underfunded because money went elsewhere harms people. Want more money to combat opiate addiction, then FUND IT.
