Kornheiser's support of overdose prevention centers 'appalling'


Editor's note: On Jan. 10, Kornheiser, as chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means, recommended passage of an act relating to a harm-reduction criminal justice response to drug use. The bill, which calls for $1 million for a pilot program for overdose prevention centers, passed the House on Jan. 11 and is now in the hands of the state Senate's Committee on Health and Welfare.


Emilie Kornheiser, state representative of the Windham-7 district, is up in Montpelier promoting making Brattleboro the illegal drug use hub of southwestern New England.

She wants to continue the enable the use of illicit drugs by establishing a come-one-come-all shooting gallery in our town.

Kornheiser has never shown any interest in what is best for the hard-working, law-abiding, taxpaying members of this community. What she is pushing is appalling.
