FILE - This Feb. 19, 2013, file photo, shows OxyContin pills arranged for a photo at a pharmacy in Montpelier, Vt. More than 28,000 Americans died from overdosing on opiates in 2014, a record high for the nation. That’s 78 people per day, a number that doesn’t include the millions of family members, first responders and even taxpayers who feel the ripple of drug addiction in their daily lives. A rise in prescription painkillers is partially to blame: The sale of these drugs has quadrupled since 1999, and so has the number of Americans dying from an addiction to them. When prescriptions run out, people find themselves turning to the cheaper alternative heroin and, increasingly, the even more deadly drug fentanyl. (AP Photo/Toby Talbot, File)

In this Thursday, July 7, 2016, photo, Gov. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., speaks during an interview in her office in Concord, N.H. In her state of the state address last February, Hassan announced an $8 million initiative to provide skills training, transportation and other services to help low-income people find better paying jobs. But repeated delays from a legislative committee that holds power of the purse means the program is still months away from getting off the ground, if it ever starts at all. (AP Photo/Jim Cole)

RECASTS CAPTION TO REMOVE ALLEGATIONS - Abby Howard and her daughter, Kristen, play with their cat at her home in Gilsum, N.H., Thursday, July 7, 2016. When Howard decided to seek a restraining order against her husband in 2012, she had no legal help to navigate the civil court system. Her husband, meanwhile, hired a lawyer who helped him lower his monthly child support payments and file for a divorce. The mother of four with a part-time job, felt outsmarted and unsure how to best advocate for her and her children. She eventually found a lawyer through New Hampshire Legal Assistance, a nonprofit that provides free services to low-income victims. (AP Photo/Jim Cole)
