The radio show has been critical of the present state of Florida's response to the growing drug problem in our state. The epicenter and glaring distribution point for the drugs entering our streets are the "Pain Clinics". With the new drug monitoring bill soon to be implemented, over 900 clinics have mandatorily been registered as legal narcotic distribution points in Florida. There is plenty of blame to go around for the dismal response Florida officials and law makers have had over past years. However, it has become time for solutions.
It is the hope of the radio show that Florida finally has a leader on the issue. Lt Governor Kottkamp had a candid interview that was aired this week. http://www.prescriptionaddictionradio.com The Lt Governor clearly acknowledged the situation has become a crises in our state with the long lines at the pain clinics now being depicted on National news and a verified average of six people are dying from drug overdoses every day in our state. Lt. Governor Kottkamp has announced the formation of a Task Force to bring an end to the indiscriminate distribution of the legal narcotics to our streets http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20100211/COLUMNIST/2111047/-1/NEWSSITEMAP
The radio show listener knows we need more than just a task force to get this job done. I believe our Lt Governor understands the we need business and industry from all political spectrums to join in this fight. We need more public leaders to speak out. It is my hope that our Lt Governor, if sincere, will lead the fight and bring our state's leaders together without the special interests in the room.
As a reminder, on Jan 3rd State Senator Dave Aronberg spoke out on the issue. His Palm Beach district has been devastated by the pain clinics. It is the radio show's intent to support both men who appear committed to helping stop a travesty that has gotten out of control.
