Opioid-Related Deaths In Illinois Are On The Rise

Opioid deaths in Illinois are increasing.  Marnell Brown, who founded the nonprofit group To Walk in My Shoes, says overdoses involving fentanyl-laced drugs are happening everywhere.  Brown was speaking before a state Senate committee on the issue.  Other speakers talked about the need to get drug users long-term treatment instead of putting them behind bars.  They also want law enforcement to be more aggressive pursue dealers who are selling tainted drugs on the street.
