>RI ignoring the needs of people with mental illness, addiction concerns

I don't think the addiction concerns have anything to do with the stadium in Pawtucket. Maybe gambling. Mental illness, suicide and overdose go hand in hand. I don't hear anyone talking about it. I don't hear any politician speaking about it. We are losing our children on a daily basis. The number of people we lose to overdose in this country is at an alarming rate. I don't hear any politician talking about it.
