Umatilla County District Attorney Dan Primus shares the progress being made on the plan as we move closer to re-criminalizizing narcotics like methamphetamine and fentanyl. He talks about the deflection plan and once the changes take effect on Sept. 1, what kind of strain it will put on his office. He also talks about staffing and hearings or trials coming up for major criminal cases his office is working on. Primus also serves on the DUII victim impact panel and explains what that organization does. He also shares the feedback he received following this year's George Murdock Eastern Oregon Regional Chid Abuse Conference. Next, Primus talks about what it's like to have a state champion softball player in his house and gives some advice to parents about the value of sports to children.
