STATE NEEDS TO BETTER FUND DRUG TREATMENT
Again, the reactionary response to the recent tragedies is sad. Rep.
Josh Green's response is to mandate 60 days clean and sober for
parents to get their children back, and drug treatment.
This makes a very faulty assumption. Drug-treatment programs are
woefully underfunded and neglected by the state.
Treatment costs money. Just mandating parents to receive treatment
does not make it so. Put your money where your mouth is.
