Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear joined West Virginia and Ohio Attorney Generals Patrick Morrissey and Mike DeWine to host a summit aimed at fighting back against the Tri-State’s opioid crisis. The “Taking Back Our Communities: Combating the Opiate Epidemic” meeting was held at the New Life Church in Huntington on Thursday, bringing together citizens, law enforcement, counselors, educators, and faith-based groups. Beshear said that drug abuse is the single greatest threat to job growth and to a better life for Kentucky, adding that drug treatment is an important part of the fight against addiction. The meeting focused on stopping the spread of opioids, and allowed attendees to collaborate and share data.
