This is excellent news! Good priorities. Funding for CAHOOTS saves money. Sending out the police or having people go to the ER instead when CAHOOTS is not available is clearly more expensive than sending CAHOOTS. They are often the best option, regardless of cost. Similarly, the Human Services Comission and the Neighborhoods are relatively low cost, positive and proactive ways to address issues that only become more expensive as needs go unmet in early stages. I am very pleased about this. Now about that iron fence under the roadway over near Washington Park... if it truly did cost $60,000.00 as was rumored on Facebook, that is an outrageous example of overspending that could have been put to better use. Please don't do that kind of thing again.
