As stated plainly in the first <br />ARORP principle: "Abatement efforts will be most effective if Arkansas governments unite and <br />work cooperatively together, as they have in opioid litigation, on behalf of the people." <br />With unity in mind, we were excited to hear from Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin at the <br />meeting of the County Judges Association of Arkansas on February 9. Attorney General Griffin <br />praised the great work of the counties and cities and ARORP, and he enthusiastically committed <br />to cooperate and unify with the counties and cities on opioid abatement in Arkansas. This is <br />wonderful news for Arkansas, and for your communities, families, and addicts. <br />The cavalry has arrived and is grateful to serve! <br />
