Tonight at 8, WJLP, the MeTV affiliate licensed to Middletown, N.J., and seen in New York City, is airing a special town hall meeting seeking solutions to New Jersey’s growing heroin and prescription drug crisis.
A Jersey Matters Town Hall: The Heroin Crisis, was held at Monmouth University and was co-hosted by WJLP and the the Asbury Park Press.
The special is also airing on KJWP, the Me-TV licensed to Wilmington, Del., and also serving Philadelphia.
Both WJLP and KJWP are owned by PMCM TV.
The actress Mackenzie Phillips and New Jersey Attorney General Christopher Porrino are just two of the panelists, which also include local politicians and medical experts.
“You cannot arrest your way out of this crisis,” Attorney General Porrino told the audience at Monmouth University.
Phillips told the audience she wouldn’t have survived her addiction had she not been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport after a bag of heroin fell out her pocket.
