Rich started off the second segment asking the Mayor about the ‘Heroin Task Force.’  “We can’t arrest our way out of this,” former Police Chief Mara is quoted as saying, referring to the drug issue.
Alderman Long made a suggestion, at last night’s Board of Mayor and Alderman, to use the $120,000 surplus to support the Hope NH organization.  Rich inquired about the Mayor’s opinion.
