Seventh district Michigan Congressman Tim Walberg saw one of his co-sponsored bills pass the house last week amid a series to fight opiod and heroin drug abuse.
"There have been more victims in this battle than should be called criminals," Walberg said. "What we have been doing has not been working. There is a better way."
Walberg had helped introduce a bi-partisan bill to strengthen safeguards to ensure infants born into a life of drug addiction are safely cared for and protected.
