Thousands Descend on the State Capitol to Send Lawmakers a Message

Micheala Dorrough

Thousands fill hallways and steps at the state capitol, rallying to protest healthcare and social service cuts and calling for a budget that includes long-term funding. Mental Health Care Association CEO Michael Brose says band-aid after band-aid just won’t cut it anymore. He says it’s time for lawmakers to end partisanship and do what’s best for all the citizens.

Brose says the budget deal announced by the Governor and legislative leaders does NOT solve the year to year funding gap. Those who attended the rally want lawmakers to address the long-term issues.
