Editor’s note
: This is the third in a four-part series on the drug crisis in Logansport and Cass County. Coming Saturday: A 21-year-addict’s survival.
Arrests may be made.
Jail time may be served.
But until a person’s mindset is changed by overcoming the draws of drugs and addiction, then eradicating the problem is nearly impossible. And the only way to accomplish this feat is through education.
“Addiction is a mental health issue,” said Logansport Police Chief Travis Yike. “Education and mental health services are the key … [they’re] what lead to prevention.”
SOUTH BEND â South Bend Common Council members declined Monday night to approve the city administrationâs request to raise all sewer bills 87 cents more a month to pay for monthly discounts of up to $28.50 for the cityâs poorest households.
The new surcharge would be added to a $1.75 increase approved by the council in October 2019, yet to be implemented by the administration, to pay for a range of smaller discounts than what is now being proposed.
The discounts would appear as âcreditsâ on low-income residentsâ bills.
The city had planned to put the surcharge and credits into effect over the past summer but delayed them because of the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and plans to switch to a new billing software next month, said city public works Director Eric Horvath.
