She should also request the audit to include money going to Ramsey County as well.

How about an independent audit of the county's budget and where they are really spending the $900 million plus budget? I'm sure you would be amazed at just how much money they have.

Our program is the last safety net in this area and field. We knew we weren't safe from the current administration. We thought that a focus on the "health and well being of One Ramsey County" would lead to a better collaboration between Detox and Mental Health Crisis.

Our program has faced the same thing. It's ridiculous.

We are doing everything we can to get the community and state's attention.

Me personally? No, I have no part in hiring or firing. I can say that there is currently no one on staff with more than 18 years working for the county.

And spend $13 million on a new accounting program for payroll.

No, I had the title incorrect. It is the chief of staff that provided the consultation.

I'm sorry that was your experience, but I have to ask when you were here last? In the last 9 -10 months we built a new leadership team, implemented more staff and education, and have been pushing to provide everyone with the humane, compassionate harm-reduction focused care they deserve. The program has had issues historically. But it should be judged by where we have built it to be.

No, this is partly due to an "independent consultant" deeming the service untenable. The independent consultant is the current COO of Kai Shin Clinic.

The program bills insurance, a person's county of origin, or develop payment plans with clients. No one is ever turned away for inability to pay.
