Can you only imagine the outrage of the liberal Maryland media if former Governor Robert Ehrlich had closed the Upper Shore Community Mental Health Center?
Delegate Mike Smigiel Press Release:
Contact: Andi Morony September 24, 2009 410-490-2734
For Immediate Release
Delegate Mike Smigiel (R-District 36-Upper Shore) will be joining Senator EJ Pipkin at an all-night vigil in Chestertown, MD to protest the closing of the Upper Shore Community Mental Health Center.
"Very few issues touch the community in such a real and significant way as the need for basic services for those who are unable to help themselves. When those issues arise, public servants need to do everything possible. to bring attention to the urgency of the situation." Smigiel said of the vigil.
"The community has been working very hard to save the USCMHC. We, as public officials, must lead the charge to reverse this decision." Smigiel said in reference to the decision to close the center.
"I find it in poor taste and particularly callous that the Governor will attend a $1,000 a plate fundraiser here in Chestertown but cannot find the time to tour this award-winning facility and speak directly with the people most affected by the cuts" Smigiel concluded.
An invitation went to the Governor's office a week ago from the members of the 36th District Legislative Team asking that he come and tour the facility. To date, no response has been received. The high dollar campaign fundraiser is scheduled for this Saturday at 1PM in Chestertown, Md.
