Candidates Discuss Solutions For Drug Problem

In New York, candidates for Chautauqua County executive had a private debate with local news outlets, and one candidate, PJ Wendel, discussed how he would use Deterra bags as part of his plan to decrease drug use in New York. Wendel noted that from the federal $24.6 million American Rescue Plan Act funds, the county is going to buy 40,000 Deterra bags. Wendel said he wants to pass a law that requires pharmacies that sell prescription drugs to hand out these Deterra bags when opioid medication is sold.
