This initiative’s objective was to expand mental health programs, expand the availability of services, and reduce state spending on mental health. With hundreds of millions of dollars cut from the community mental health system and other safety net programs due to the current economic crisis, MHSA has become an important source of funding of the state’s overall mental health delivery service system.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“We are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago. We think we’re in the present, but we aren’t. The present we know is only a movie of the past.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
“Open the envelope quickly,
O this is not our son’s writing, yet his name is sign’d,
O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken mother’s soul!
All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the main
words only,
Sentences broken, gunshot wound in the breast, cavalry skirmish, taken to hospital,
At present low, but will soon be better.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
