Justice Department warns Virginia of suit over failures

From the Richmond Times Dispatch:

"Sent to Gov. Bob McDonnell late Thursday, the long-anticipated report gives the state 49 days to respond favorably to a litany of adverse findings affecting five state institutions housing 1,100 individuals; but it also draws attention to the condition of 8,600 other people in the community served by money from federal care waivers and to 6,400 others waiting for help, 3,000 of whom are regarded as critically in need."

Jimmy is on the IFDDS waitlist.  After reading the report, I would rather die than have him at one of the training centers.  He is no criminal.  But the cannot cut current services to fund a few more waiver slots, as they have been discussing.  I think DOJ will have a problem with that as well.  All during budget season.  Timing is everything.  

If you want to get yourself angry, read the comments on the article.  There are some really ugly people in the world.  They like to hang out on the web.
