Talk:California Mental Health Services Act

Spending
Is anyone sure how the funding was allocated in AB 131? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Feralfeline (talk • contribs) 00:09, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

This article is frozen in time
Warning to readers: This article treats the subject as if it is frozen in time. While MHSA is about funding, to be sure, there is much talk in this article of stakeholder meetings and changes. Exactly what has happened since 2006 or 2007? Is there anything substantive that has occurred to California's Lanterman-Petris-Short mental health framework as a result of MHSA or is the applicable law essentially that of the 1990s? Presumably the last four years have brought cuts in funding, but this article does not reflect them. It is certainly unclear what the large committee, meticulously listed in this article, has accomplished between the last update and the present day. And no link in this article is more recent than 2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.40.140.69 (talk) 00:27, 9 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I completely agree. More importantly it reads like a brochure for MHSA. It lists all the positives with none of the criticisms or controversies, such as an investigation by the California State Auditor, the Little Hoover Commission report, or critique by Rose King who helped author the original bill. --Beck8888 (talk) 22:42, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

There needs to be a massive amount of work done on this, and as it's a part of one of the largest states funding, I find it more than a 'low importance' article. The California Department of Mental health doesn't even exist anymore!

Merging?
Do we really need a "California Mental Health Services Act" and a "California Proposition 63 (2004)" article? No one is keeping either page up to date. The most recent reference from either article is from 2011. This is an ongoing California program receiving/spending multiple billions yearly. The resulting commission responsible has multiple meeting per month. The way it is now, timely information would have to be posted in two places. To avoid duplication, at minimum, the “California Proposition 63 (2004)” article should only give brief mentions (with links) to underlying law and its resulting organizations.

In addition, both pages read like brochures for the California MHSA law. This law has become controversial after receiving over $15 billion since 2004. As I already mention on one Talk page, both articles list all the positives with little of the criticisms or controversies, such as an negative investigation by the California State Auditor, extremely critical Little Hoover Commission report, or statements by Rose King who helped author the original bill (who isn’t even mentioned in either article). These are only a few of the controversies. --Beck8888 (talk) 04:57, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
