mental health budget cuts in maryland are crazy
While official numbers aren't out, it appears millions may be slashed from the already delicate mental health care system in Maryland this legislative session.
In Virginia, there isn't any significant cuts planned for mental health care.
Griffin says mental health care in Montgomery County can't bare a single cut.
"We're down to the bone as far as cuts go," she says.
"There's no excess to trim anywhere and the services that are being lost because of these cuts are so significant."
Griffin says cuts will deeply impact people who are in great need of services.

yet 16 million was blown by harford county for an overpass that has become a traffic nightmare.
Left out of this discussion are the unintended consequences of doing this. I will not be suprised if there are more accidents now due to the fact that no shoulders exist on the new road. At least 3-4 times a week I see disabled vehicles and tow trucks on the side of the road through that stretch. If your vehicle becomes disabled, there is no other option than stopping in the middle of the travelled portion of the roadway. This is an EXTREMELY dangerous situation that has been created for motorists (functioning AND disabled), as well as for police and tow vehicle operators that attempt to assist them.
