What is the scoop?
We are hearing, and you may have too, that the Senate is not seeing the urgency associated with this bill's passage. The urgency is this:
-the money will run out immediately for those whose appeals are being concluded
-this affects 1400 people - their lives, their homes, their stability
-it is vitally important that the new administration show they can act quickly and decisively to correct a very important, and very pressing problem
-now is the time to invest in building a stable mental health system, accessible when it is needed
Action steps:
1. Please thank your representatives, especially Representatives Dollar and Burr (see committee list above) for their leadership and support
2. Tell your story to your Senator about why we need them to act right now to move HB 5 along and get it passed immediately! Contact them in the district over the weekend. Make a call - way more effective than email. But if you can only send the email, please send the email!!
