  1. So when the person in Kingfield refused medical treatment after being administered narcan does that mean we the tax payers can refuse to help someone the next time they o.d. because they obviously don’t want help they just want to ruin their life or die ?

  2. So sad to read so many of these reports, and anyone with half a brain can see that the m majority of them are drug or alcohol related. “In a hand-basket” people, “in a “hand-basket.” sad but true.
