44. Jeffrey Reynolds, Ph.D.

A few years ago, heroin was barely spoken of on the Island. It was seen as something out of the movies that didn’t reach suburbia. Things are very different today. The stunning growth of heroin usage is symptomatic of a greater substance abuse problem on the Island, but there is one person standing on the frontlines of our new drug war. Reynolds may give the appearance of a mild-mannered intellectual but don’t underestimate how much influence he has in political circles or his willingness to fight in the trenches. Substance abuse may be winning the battle against our children today but the war will be won with Reynolds as Commander In Chief.
