It is Abele that chose to understaff the facility endangering workers and patients alike. I also am fully aware that it was Abele that is ultimately responsible for those deaths.<br /><br />I am also aware that by not bringing their concerns to the board so that policy could be changed, Abele and DRW chose to play politics with those deaths.<br /><br />And considering that I have occasion to have dealings with DRW for the past 19 years, I know them all too well. To put it politely, they are rather agenda driven.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-53686390557590384022014-03-27T16:31:15.278-05:002014-03-27T16:31:15.278-05:00Very Christie-like, with Scotty's hand-picked ...Very Christie-like, with Scotty's hand-picked buddies running the "investigation", no doubt.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-215327084474153902014-03-27T09:06:51.534-05:002014-03-27T09:06:51.534-05:00Have you intentionally chosen to ignore the fact t...Have you intentionally chosen to ignore the fact that the county’s total disregard for the health and safety of those admitted into its mental health institutions has resulted in the horrific and entirely avoidable deaths of 6 individuals, or are you more interested in pushing your vapid assumption that facts do not matter? Had you cared to even do the most rudimentary of research, you would have determined that DRW has no political bend to it; it will take to task any organization on any side of the isle that it views as being unfair or acting improperly towards those with disabilities. In my opinion, your article reveals you to be nothing more than a shill for the Milwaukee County Board. A board that is seemingly more interested in concealing its faults and evading blame than ensuring that a modicum of care is being provided to the most vulnerable of our society.

Like the O'Donnel parking garage death, which emails show that SKW micromanaged for damage control, it looks like he will do the same here, using his appointees to make a real "investigation," so that he will come out spotless, and Abele--the "Democrat" who so eagerly goes right along with the Teapublicans--takes the blame, even though he lobbied for the power grab over the County Board.<br />Once again, so much for local control.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-40686851212169706222014-03-26T11:28:45.463-05:002014-03-26T11:28:45.463-05:00ugh, that was a terrible and unintentional last se...ugh, that was a terrible and unintentional last sentence in the post above.

But if you think there is ANYTHING good that can come out of a state-led investigation of them you are simply wrong. DRW is a non-profit that protects the rights of people with disabilities. They have, among other things, stood against this administration on issues like voter ID and school vouchers and medicaid expansion. I'm sure Walker would love to try to cripple them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-64934847715705474442014-03-26T10:51:11.899-05:002014-03-26T10:51:11.899-05:00Capper, nice scoopCapper, nice scoopJohn Caspernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-76740058061598022172014-03-26T08:20:39.344-05:002014-03-26T08:20:39.344-05:00Taking this "investigation" under his wi...Taking this "investigation" under his wing, he has the ability to direct and control it.
