(USGovernment-News.Com, August 16, 2016 ) Baltimore, Maryland -- The current Governor of Maryland, Governor Larry Hogan, has announced that, to fight the heroin epidemic in the state, Maryland will be distributing $3 million in grants. Despite the large amounts of deaths caused by heroin overdoses in the city, Baltimore will not be receiving any grant. According to the governor's office, this city did not apply to receive a portion of the $3 million. According to their police spokesman T.J. Smith, the grants do not meet the requirements of the department. Along with this, Smith said that the funding would not last for longer than a year and would ultimately lead to people being laid off once funding ran dry. Drug Rehab asserts that, though the reasons behind Baltimore not applying for the grants was reasonable, something must be done to improve the heroin problem in the city. By finding an alternate solution to solving the heroin epidemic, the city of Baltimore will be able to effectively diminish and end the drug use in their community.
An associate from the facility comments:
"The reasons the Baltimore Police Department chose not to apply for the grant showed that the department was thinking of the future in how it would affect the community. Though the issue of heroin use and the large amounts of heroin death resulting from it remains unresolved, community leaders seem to be working to fight the issue. The continued attention to the growing heroin epidemic in Maryland shows that state officials have recognized that there is an issue and that they are working toward a resolution."
