📍 The OnPoint Overdose Prevention Center, based in Harlem, received $1.38 million in grant money. Except locals don't think the initiative is fighting addiction in any way.
📍In addition, Ayala is calling for support for her idea to "buy back used needles." The politician says she is tired of collecting them on the streets, so addicts can bring them themselves for a fee.
