Methadone debate pits Erie officials against treatment plan
Erie County officials and Judge William Pratt clash over a methadone maintenance program funded by the state welfare office. The plan would transport heroin addicts to Cleveland for methadone doses, costing about 15 dollars per round trip and potentially totaling 35,000 dollars yearly. A local meeting was planned to explore a county clinic at Saint Vincent Health Center with an expected 585,000 dollar price tag and mixed funding. Critics argue methadone prolongs addiction and may enable crime, while proponents cite treatment and rehabilitation goals. Local doctors warn the approach lacks proof and warn against lifelong dependence.

Henry Ford II resigned as a Ford Foundation trustee citing frustration with a bureaucratic atmosphere and waning influence. He questioned whether the foundation remains a bold backer of innovation or a broad but thinly spread funding agency amid falling grants and staff rigidity.
