Good morning. Mni good morning, steve. Ing,ve. Great to be with you. Gr i want to talk first of allef about your state of emergency when it comes to opioidd addiction before we get into tht details, Michael Kellyanne vestt interesting set up house of houo cards put maryland on the mapt a with all thend attention there. It was a direct i guess plan there to get him involved in the campaign . Well actually they reachedyhy out to us and we thought it wass a terrific idea of course Michael Kelly is somebody veryy interested and involved in thest issues and the character he plays has addiction problems sos we thought it was great. They filmed the show here in in one on the set it was tremendoue we can thank them enough for helping us to bring awareness to this really crisis situation sun that we have across the countryy youve done many efforts todf bring awareness to this in thehe past and now youre bringingngin money into it as well and 50 million even spread out ovee five years is no small change. E what do you hope that that can do to help in this problem whene it comes to either heroin or opioid addictions . Well, its a terrible problel thats facing maryland and every other state in the country. Ry heroin usage has tripled overede the past 12 months nationwide. E weve been focused on it since e ive been governor. I been we created an emergency heroin and Opioid Task Force right after i was sworn in at the Lieutenant Governor he haded when up and we knacked and pushing 31 different initiatives to try attack it from allrom directions and its just not enough. Enou and so this week we announcedoud state of emergency where were e going treat this just like wetie would any major crisis, becauseu thousands of people are dying. G we he and we wanted to bring all the t resources of state governmentovt together with all of our local counties and municipalities and bring all the resources to bearb to try to go after it from education f treatment from and m crime control and all of those and have everybody talking tokio each other be on the same pagee and cut through the re tape so e they can all work together. K t its one thing to talk about thing. Its one thing to read about thing. Another thing to real put that personal touch on it and putt t face o pn it governor i dont wt to put you on the spot too muchm i know you have talk about it ii the past. Your deep personal connection cn when it comes to addiction andti how much it can impact a family. Well, families touched allcha across our state and all acrosss the nation. Ti i mean, nearly everyone has someone they know either loved one a member of the family or ao friend or neighbor that theyve seen go through this. Seen go th i persoronallugy lost a cousin r cousin to heroin overdose andose its a tragic situation. Uaon ive many friends who have lostt family members and its its tearing up our families and communities. And weve asked the federal government to get involved and v focus on this issue. Iss i was happy to see the presidene mention it in his address theree other day. I got a chance to discuss it with the Health Secretary sre secretary price and they price t vicepresident over the weekendd at National Governors association. Associat its going take the federal, state, local governments alongea with community organizations,iz faith based organizations and family members, everybody hasryy got to do what they can to saves lives and to stop this crisis. Governor im glad that youm a mentioned your first cousin csi because i think this is one of those situations where justns ws about Everybody Knows somebody personally whose been impacted by this but almost that who dird little secret that you dontt ta want to talk about, and some of that may be because heroin seeme like such a nasty word it goest beyond that because werecae we talking about prescription drugs here, gateway drugs to this anda i know it goes beyond just the heroin part to getting help on p all levels. S. Is that part of your plan now bw pledging this money . Opioid and heroin problem and aa lot of people start with prescription drugs. Dgs theyre over prescribed orchidse get a hold of their parentsts medications. Theres many different ways butt then heroin is readily available and cheap and easy to find anda easy to get, and its so dangerous now because the drugsg fentanyl is now mixed withed wh heroin which makes it 100 timest more powerful and even more me deadly so sometimes people are e trying it for the first time and losing that are lives but its opioids, heroin, its really a gigantic problem across thecr t country. I know this was a lesson fors yo wuas in governing as well on the first thing you want to do if im not mistaken when youu wu into office was put an executivu order through and i think much t like somebody in washington nowo you learn that its not alwaysly as easy as you think when younkn first get into office. Ffe well, you know, weve beenve focusing on the problem but the problem keeps evolving and so our our efforts to attack
