Governor Rendell made this an absolute priority. During the Rendell administration the wheels have been in motion on this at a very brisk pace.

Women who can’t see their kids while they’re in treatment won’t stay in treatment very long.

Treatment is really the answer to what we need to do.

Simply locking people up is not going to solve the problem. Treatment really is the answer to what we do.

I think it is really time for this to be a national issue.

It’s not just local government’s responsibility, it’s a national issue. The societal costs are everywhere.

It has really rocked us. People are staying in treatment slots longer, so I can’t spin those beds to someone else. My waiting lists are mounting like crazy.
