Patti Fax Hickox hits the nail
right on the head when she wonders about government's real interest
in supporting necessary social programs. It is the easiest thing
in the world for a governor, president, mayor or other elected
official to pass a resolution "supporting" something
or making a month an "awareness" month, but too often
that action masks a previous action to cut the funding that is
so crucially needed to provide that service. By the way, Patti,
the Borough Assembly has reversed its earlier cut of funding
for the Transitional Living Center. But it should never have
cut the funding in the first place.
