Rep. Joule Explains Budget Cuts to Bring the Kids Home Program

Yesterday I discussed concerns that the Bring the Kids Home program as proposed by the Governor would see major cuts. This morning I sat in on that hearing and blogged it live, or at least as much as I could keep up with. After that I got Mental Health Trust Director Jeff Jesse's response to the cuts, because his agency had committed funds on the assumption that the State would have a significant match. He said they'd have to cut back their funding. And here is Finance Subcommittee on Health and Social Services Chair Rep. Regie Joule's explanation of how they chose to make the cuts.
