The Spirit Of Government

"It's just money."

If I told my family I put us more in debt, no big deal...Well, you probably know the response..

Yesterday, I received a call from DHHS on behalf of the person I have been advocating for. They informed me that the person being advocated for had "passed" the money part. I am grateful for the call. The first one I received since beginning this journey last fall.

Now, I await for the Bureau of Disabilities. Yippe Skippee. :P

The biggest problem is that they want the individual to work with a local organization. This "local organization" is useless. So, another battle on the forefront.

But, I am grateful for the personal phone call.

Updates

NH DHHS is 60 plus days of sitting on a document that can open the door to an ABD for a TBI. They told me they have 80 days, though I can find this no where on their site or anywhere else.

A local organization in Keene, who works with disabled people who have suffered TBI, promised me the paperwork to begin services over a month ago. A more recent email indicated I would see that paperwork by the next day. Two weeks later, I am still waiting.

Letters to some elected officials got some "reaction" but no closer to the goal.

If organizations receive taxpayer monies, ought they not be responsible to the taxpayer? While I do not believe that pulling a chainsaw out to cut spending without investigation is the full answer, I do hope considers looking at these or at least our state and our state officials.

If you receive public taxes, should you be required to "show your work"? I think there needs to be some metric,

If you are a nonprofit that takes federal and state monies, should you do your job?

If you are a nonprofit and you make 2 promises to a taxpayer and a client advocate, and your promises are 2 weeks overdue, and you have not seen fit to respond to 3 emails, is that not a problem? Why should you continue to receive taxpayer monies?

Questions I am pondering.
