H.R. 7666: NO

H.R. 7666: NO. This measure throws nearly $2 billion a year into mental health grant programs that are notoriously unsupervised and inefficient and often rob one state to benefit another. Mental health programs have traditionally been funded and administered by the states where innovative approaches can be tried and evaluated. Although proponents promise this will improve public safety, it does nothing to confine the dangerously mentally ill who should not be on the streets at all.
