Notice especially the lack of logic as the Monroe Developmental Center is planned for closure, and moving those 125 people to group homes, when there are already 1300 people waiting for beds in group homes, being forced to remain (for example) under care of aging parents or in dangerous situations.  By what flawed decision making are they ignored and the MDC closed, with its population relocated to the facilities needed by those on the waithing list?   Oh, we remember:  “People First” according to Gov. Cuomo and his minions!  One parent says:  “I consider the wait list 30 years to never.”
