Bill Myers
Bill Myers authored The Well News exclusive series on “Safe Passage,” a program that radically rethinks America’s War on Drugs. In the “Safe Passage” series, Myers digs into how opioids have overwhelmed rural Illinois. Desperate, the cops in Ronald Reagan’s hometown have stopped arresting people and started getting them help. You can read the series here.
