We have a huge problem with fentanyl across the State, as we do across the country, but we have new funding both to prevent overdoses and to crack down on the organized crime that is trafficking fentanyl into our communities. We also got bipartisan support to close the weather radar gap which exists in Charlotte. We have the largest weather radar gap in the country.
