We are pleased to see Governor Christie expand on the growing problem of opiate addiction in his recent State of the State Address. The attention the Governor is focusing on this issue and his proposals for improving treatment and making it more accessible are important steps forward.

Time and again, they have proven effective at improving students’ test scores and graduation rates. And recent polls have found strong bipartisan support for this idea,... Read more →
