One of the most important things that I have learned in my 57 years is that life is all about choices. On every journey you take, you face choices. At every fork in the road, you make a choice. And it is those decisions that shape our lives.

There's no typical person [addicted to heroin]. It just has permeated every segment of society in Ohio.

There's no psychological barrier anymore that stops a young person or an older person from taking heroin.

On every journey you take, you are met with options. At every fork in the road, you make a choice. These are the decisions that shape your life.

There is no place in Ohio where you couldn't have drugs delivered to you in 15, 20 minutes.

I put a lot of emphasis on childrens issues. Children are many times ignored because they dont vote, and they dont have lobby groups.

I have seen the cycle of a non-violent, mentally ill offender who is arrested repeatedly and put into the system repeatedly-never being treated for his illness and, as a result, becoming more and more ill.
