We also promised to crack down on opioid-fueled deaths.
Today, we're announcing that we've dismantled two heroin/fentanyl mills in Paterson linked to 38 overdoses in our region.
By cutting the supply of the deadliest drugs, we’re saving lives across New Jersey.
Promises made. Promises kept.
After violence struck Trenton over Memorial Day weekend, we made a promise: that we'd redouble our efforts to fight gun violence in our capital.
Today, we're delivering, announcing the seizure of 22 illegal guns & arrests of 18 defendants.
Let’s reflect on what gives meaning to our lives, and set our priorities on the basis of that. We need to be positive. We weren't born to cause trouble or to do harm to others. For life to be of value, we must develop basic good human qualities—warmth, kindness, compassion.
Last year, over 3,000 people died from overdoses across New Jersey. Our Fiscal Year 2020 budget commits $100 million for the second straight year to combatting the opioid epidemic through strategic and evidence-based prevention, treatment and recovery programs.
Every day, thousands of passengers use rideshare services. It is our responsibility to do everything we can to keep them safe.
Today, I joined the Josephson family in Robbinsville to sign Sami's Law, honoring Samantha's life by enhancing protections for rideshare passengers.
Tomorrow, New Jerseyans can anonymously obtain free Naloxone without an RX or appt. For a list of participating pharmacies, visit https://t.co/u8tNCULNFd. OAG & #NJCares are grateful to have a partner in @GovMurphy & @NJDHS as we fight to end the opioid epidemic. #NaloxoneDay
The Sackler dynasty's widespread deception made them billions of $$, while millions of patients became addicted to opioids. We’re suing 8 family members for deceptions that put $$ above patients. It's time for them to take responsibility for this epidemic: https://t.co/qlASQu2009
How we view human nature can mean the difference between living in a world filled with people who are perceived as hostile, violent and dangerous, or as essentially kind, helpful and gentle. A deep awareness of the essential goodness of human beings can give us courage and hope.
Honest concern for others is the key factor in improving our day to day lives. When you are warm-hearted, there is no room for anger, jealousy or insecurity. Healthy, happy families and a healthy peaceful nation are dependent on warm-heartedness.
Thank you to @NJSP and our #NJCares team for representing the OAG at @NJPN 's 19th Annual Addiction Conference yesterday! Together, we can create a path to wellness and combat the disease of addiction.
Because anger and hostility destroy our peace of mind, it is they that are our real enemy. Anger ruins our health; a compassionate attitude restores it. If it were basic human nature to be angry, there’d be no hope, but since it is our nature to be compassionate, there is.
Terrific town hall meeting @RobbinsvilleTwp. Eye-opening 2 hear from those suffering from long-term chronic pain getting caught in the middle. @onofri42 also dropping some big & ugly stats re: purity levels and Fentanyl. #KnockOutOpioidAbuse
Time is always moving on; nothing can stop it. We can’t change the past, but we can shape the future. The more compassionate you are, the more you will find inner peace.
