The Task Force will hear from U.S. Congressman Ed Case, who will speak on federal anti-drug funding and programs; U.S. Attorney Ed Kubo, who will further discuss federal law enforcement programs that would assist in ice and drug abatement, and City Prosecutor Peter Carlisle, who will further outline local anti-drug initiatives and proposals.
