Black eye for Oregon

The Oregonian broke this story.

One in five adults with developmental disabilities who are in state care have been abused. Nearlly 7 in 10 caretakers quit in their first year due to low pay.

I am thankful for my independence. I feel for those who are dependent on a system that is so taxed and under funded.

I pray that the Guv and the legislature can do the right thing.

Being a government worker, I know that doing the right thing usually takes money...and getting the money depends on how hight it gets on the priority list.

Sigh...
