Larson Eyes Broad Anti Meth Drive Across Iowa
Chuck Larson leads a statewide effort to expand the SAFE program boosting 56 communities from 35 since he joined Iowa government. He oversees about 10 staff and nearly 7 million dollars in federal funds split among 25 drug task forces and programs while coordinating the Partnership for a Drug Free Iowa. Governor Branstad praises Larson as ideal for a long term, concerted war on drugs and urges continuity with tougher penalties and workplace drug testing to curb meth use among workers. Attorney General Miller backs a single agency focus on prevention and treatment as Larson plans a major public service anti meth campaign and a large community policing event.
