Tonight on The Board Report, we welcome back George Colon, an experienced addiction recovery coach, for a timely and critical conversation about the intersection of fentanyl addiction and mental health.

As the fentanyl crisis continues to claim lives across the country, George brings a front-line perspective on how overmedication, underdiagnosis, and the lack of meaningful mental health support are making a bad situation worse.

We’ll explore how addiction and psychiatric medication often collide—leaving families with more questions than answers—and discuss what real recovery and support should look like at the community level.

Tonight on The Board Report, we examine a developing story that’s drawing national attention—a sitting vice mayor of a Florida coastal city is at the center of a controversy that has raised serious concerns within the community.

As details emerge, we’ll explore the broader conversation surrounding the moral responsibilities of elected officials, and the potential conflicts of interest that arise when public trust is tested.

This development comes as the city continues to face scrutiny over recent years of stalled progress and financial compliance concerns. With national attention now focused on its leadership, the situation raises broader questions about governance, public trust, and the impact of personal conduct on a community’s reputation.
