The short explanation of this alert was:
YOU NEED TO TELL GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATORS:

"The consultants got it wrong."

SAVE MAPLE LANE. SAVE AHTANUM VIEW. SAVE RHCS.

The state Office of Financial Management today released a consultant's draft report and asked for public comment on possible huge cuts in juvenile rehabilitation, Corrections and residential habilitation center (DD) institutions.

The draft report floats the idea of:

Closing Maple Lane School, a juvenile rehabilitation center in south Thurston County.

Closing Ahtanum View Corrections Center in Yakima County where Federation members work with geriatric and seriously ill prisoners.

Close Frances Haddon Morgan Center, an RHC in Bremerton, by 2013.

Close Rainier School, an RHC in Buckley, by 2017.

Decimate the remaining RHCs (Fircrest School in Shoreline, Lakeland Village in Medical Lake and Yakima Valley School in Selah) by making them skilled nursing facilities only with a much smaller number of beds.
