HEALING A COMMUNITY. Mayor Ben Walsh joined the Ne HEALING A COMMUNITY. Mayor Ben Walsh joined the New York State Attorney General Leticia James and the regions elected leaders today to share how the region will begin healing from the harm of the opioid crisis. Attorney General Letitia James today began her statewide ‘HealNY’ tour of New York state, where she delivered the first of up to $1.5 billion dollars to the city and the county. The funds — which will go to all 10 regions of the state — come from different settlements Attorney General James has negotiated following a 2019 lawsuit against manufacturers and distributors responsible for the opioid crisis. The addiction crisis is bigger than just one city, said Mayor Walsh. It affects neighbors from every town and village across the region. This problem is bigger than one city or one demographic. “…we are ensuring every region and every county gets financial help to recover from the devastation that opioids have inflicted on them. The funds we’re infusing into New York today and going forward will be used towards combatting this epidemic with investments in prevention, treatment, and recovery,” said AG James. #healing #opioidcrisis
