Sununu Finds Himself in Cross-Border Fight With Massachusetts Officials on Opioid CrisisGovernor Chris Sununu is getting attention for his recent claims that the city of Lawrence, Mass., is the main source of fentanyl hitting New Hampshire.

So, I refuse to say the real problem is X," Rivera said in a press conference Thursday. "No, the problem is we have a society-wide addiction problem and a society-wide problem with people who want to sell drugs and we should work together to fix them.” The complete article is at nhpr.org/post/sununu-finds-himself-cross-border-fight-massachusetts-officials-opioid-crisis#stream/0 .
