Health spending misses substance abuse
Wed, Jan 14, 2009
Sen. Bill Pritchard, R-Elkins, is a long, long way from happy that the governor’s office is offering more than $85 million in proposed state taxpayer money for health spending and not adding any new spending for drug courts and substance abuse treatment. Addictions are a great threat to lives, Pritchard said, forcing the director of the state Health Department to agree in the Senate Public Health meeting on the governor’s plan.
Looks like this is one vote the governor can’t count on for his plan.
