NH DHHS declares epidemic; & the Shaheen, Ayotte Reaction shows they failed again.

Shaheen, Ayotte call for investment in heroin prevention

There are federal grants for all of the recommendations made by both Senators as found in oh two minutes here:

http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search-grants.html?keywords=drugs for more http://www.hhs.gov/grants/

So perhaps instead of demanding new funding - the Senators should be questioning DHHS; such as if they saw or are seeing a rising heroine epidemic why after 64 deaths haven't they applied for the grants already available and put them into action?

Negligence, Lack of oversight, Lack of Communication with their own staff perhaps.
