Schumer cited various facts and figures that demonstrate how widespread the drug trafficking and abuse problem is in Broome County, including the fact that drug overdose deaths have nearly quadrupled in the county over the last five years and Broome County is now rated the fourth highest in meth lab seizures in all of New York State. As a result, Schumer urged ONDCP to designate Broome County as a HIDTA in order to help curb this emerging threat.</span></p>"}}
