We need calls to legislators to oppose Senate budget language creating a study to close Frances Haddon Morgan Center, a vital residential habilitation center in Bremerton.
The language was in the Senate budget, SB 5600, that passed out of the Senate Ways and Means Committee late Wednesday night.
This is ominous language. It comes the same day as legislation abolishing the statutory authorization for all RHCs was introduced in the Senate. That bill, SB 6182, is sponsored by Sen. Darlene Fairley of the 32nd District, but also by the Senate’s top two budget writers, Sen. Margarita Prentice of the 11th District and Sen. Rodney Tom of the 48th District.
So call 1-800-562-6000 and urge your legislators to oppose the budget language in SB 5600 funding a study to close Frances Haddon Morgan Center.
