Alderman O’Brien
| would like to congratulations to the Schoneman family and good luck with their new son.
Alderman Lopez
Last Sunday | participated in the Out of the Darkness walk through Mine Falls. It was heartening to see
how many people took the walk seriously and participated in it. It is meant to recognize suicide
awareness and support. There was a very good turn-out among some of our elected officials; Kelly
Ayotte, Peggy Gilmore and it was good to see the recognition and the support that our community
provides.
| wanted to remark on the Mayor’s comments regarding the opioid addiction issue. It’s still heavily
impacting our city. | attended the drug court proceedings today and Judge Leary commented that we’ve
had eight deaths in eight days starting off the month in October. The mortality rate is going through the
roof right now and it’s something that we as a city and each of us as community leaders should be
looking at to figure out how we can help and what we can do to contribute to the larger effort to make this
an issue that our community tackles.
