[QUOTE="DDD, post: 314233, member: 35"] You are bright, caring and articulate. Unfortunately, although I am those things...I'm also cynical. If NAMI with it's cumulative clout, knowledge and staffing can't get the politicians to step up to the plate, I'm beyond optimistic. I was appointed by two Florida Governors to a committee "with clout". Everyone on the committee was bca and most were far better educated and more experienced that I. We had access to confidential files at facilities and at social services offices. Even with all that "the system" "put out fires" that we lit but didn't alter the deficits. I'm on your team but truthfully I think, at best, that you "might" be able to achieve some goals for Dude via media exposure or your Congressmen in the District or perhaps the Supervisor of Services. The Governor is not going to make waves and alienate State employees, in my humble opinion. Chances are the Governor will see and hear you as #22 on the afternoon agenda. I'd love to be proven wrong. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
