Portland resident Angela Todd claims addicts are funding their drug addiction through food stamps two years after the state decriminalized the possession of drugs.
Angela Todd joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss how drug addicts are using food stamps to fuel their addiction as fentanyl poisonings continue to climb., recycling bottles to garner cash to buy more fentanyl, all at the expense of the city's taxpayers.
"People are not using their food debit cards to help for survival skills or diapers or to make ends meet," Todd saidTuesday."They're cashing them in for drugs. It's really it's very sad... The taxpayer dollars are being wasted, and you understand that we're in a situation where we have record overdoses and the state is turning a blind eye to this. This is really awful to allow this to go on.
"We have people acting like zombies on our streets," she continued."I can't underscore that enough. There's no exaggeration in what I'm saying."
