Excerpt from CBS Philly: (click for entire article)
The Nutter administration today put a dollar figure on the impact to the city of Governor Tom Corbett’s proposed budget for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
And officials are warning of huge reductions in mental health services in the city.
Philadelphia finance director Rob Dubow, the mayor’s top numbers cruncher, says the proposed state budget will cost the City of Philadelphia just under $41 million — $40,944,000, to be exact.
The bulk of that is a $33-million cut in state funding to the city’s Department of Behavioral Health, which could impact a variety of programs including those for the homeless.
