Commissioner Burke,
I am pleased that you at least responded to our correspondence. However, your response feels like a political response and with respect to you and your office in my opinion …”Garbage”… anyone aware of the truth of what has happened and what is slated to happen knows better. Your letter uses smoke and mirror responses and does not address the real situation as to what has actually occurred . The primary reason this initiative began was because a family member of a resident of the Middlesex home under great duress “had no where else to go ” and wound up speaking to me. For no other reason except I happened to be in the right place at the right time.
There is no way that the State of New York or your office “honored and supported each person and their family throughout the placement process”….it never happened and there is proof of that. I know that you have a tough job…but at the end of the day you are expected to “Walk the Walk” and your “People First” is who you should be. You and your initiative have fallen off your own created path. There is not anyone that does not know that this action is fiscally driven at the expense of the people you were supposed to protect. I respectfully request that you go back and look at your goals and the actual results of your decisions. Perhaps you do not realize the impact your decisions have….Perhaps it’s time to actually consider the people you affect…we matter and should be considered first and your budget second. Please return our residents to their home….it is the right thing to do and it truly does put “People First”.
You work for the people. Please listen.
Respectfully,
Middlesex Resident
