HARRISBURG, Pa. — More problems, few programs and growing impatience have mental health advocates calling on lawmakers in Harrisburg for help.
"This isn’t a one county issue, this isn’t a one city issue, this is a Commonwealth issue," added Michael Rivera, a Berks County commissioner and 2024 president of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania. "We’re doing more services with less money understanding that with inflation we can buy less with the money that we have," Rivera said.
The County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania is asking the state for a $250 million increase to jumpstart the rebuild.
