Opinion: Christie Administration Misinterprets High Court Ruling

Column by Dr. Salvatore Pizzuro, a disability policy specialist and civil rights advocate in New Jersey.

TRENTON, N.J. -- New Jersey lawmakers are expressing doubts about the intentions of the Christie Administration to meet the needs of citizens with unique medical and vocational treatment issues. State Senator Loretta Weinberg has expressed concerns that the Department of Health and Senior Services has proposed plans that do not meet the needs of the State's most vulnerable citizens.
Senator Weinberg said, "I am gravely concerned that Governor Christie's proposed FY 2011 State Budget fails New Jersey's most vulnerable populations, including women seeking access to basic health services, senior citizens in residential care settings and New Jersey residents living with disabilities who may not receive the level of individualized, medically-appropriate care they need."
