New York Gov. Hochul’s new drug task force includes 17 experts but lacks members with personal drug abuse experience.
Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon called out Gov. Kathy Hochul on fentanyl last week, and he’s entirely right: She’s again trying to dodge the toughest issues., New Yorkers by the hundreds are dying from ODs; shameless addicts plague the streets.
Yet New York’s so-called experts, including public-health officials, keep insisting on nothing but “harm reduction” strategies that are worse than useless, as theySo naturally Hochul has created an OD-prevention task force packed exclusively with 17 “experts” from across state agencies.Hence McMahon’s move last week, slamming the gov for failing to include officials and family members directly, personally affected by the crisis. Nor even a rep from law enforcement.
Her farce comes a year after she vetoed a bill to create a state task force on fighting fentanyl, at which time she promised to create one on her own.G.N. Miller/New York Post “After months and months of lip service, the governor has taken the revolutionary step of instructing her own staff to simply do their jobs: Discuss the issue amongst themselves and audit their own performance on dealing with the overdose crisis before providing recommendations to her,” says McMahon.
“They will meet just a handful of times, yet conveniently still apart and removed from the pain and suffering of Staten Islanders except for a ‘public listening session’ that will be treated as nothing more than checking a box.”task force would be a major step forward, but this one is guaranteed to fail.
