On his way to Cincinnati on Monday, U.S. Senate candidate Ted Strickland stopped and met with area Democrats in Wilmington. Concerning the heroin and opiate problem, Strickland said the scourge has touched his own family when a nephew died from an oxycontin overdose a few months ago. As governor, he started a prescription drug taskforce because many people who get addicted started out with legally prescribed painkillers before becoming addicted, he said. “Communities need resources and talk is cheap when it comes to this problem. The resources to actually provide appropriate interventions, education and treatment must come, I believe, from the federal government, and some from the state. Local governments simply do not have the ability to put the resources that are needed into this problem. They just don’t have the ability to do that. So the federal government and the state government must take up the larger part of the responsibility for this funding.” In the foreground, George Willard of Clarksville, left, converses with Strickland, right.
