Local leaders hope President Trump will address fight against opioid addiction in Cincinnati

Last October, President Donald Trump declared, "It's time to liberate our communities from this scourge of drug addiction." Trump declared the opioid crisis a "public health emergency" that day. With the president visiting the Tri-State again Monday, many here are hoping he'll discuss that topic again. Local leaders like Hamilton County Health Commissioner Tim Ingram say the fight against opioid addiction takes money. "We really need for the president to follow up with a clear plan ensuring adequate resources," Ingram said.  Every day, Ingram gets the latest numbers on hotspots for drug overdoses and ER visits countywide. The information demonstrates a complex problem. "We got to look at, of course, supply control," he said. "We got to have strong educational messaging in our schools. And we got to do harm reduction."
