*** LIVE *** Session coverage
Tuesday, May 8, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * I’ve made some changes to this now-daily post to make it even more user-friendly. I’ve added some of the morning roundups I receive every day and I’ll “pin” one of them to the top for the first part of every morning (the pinned item has a red triangle in the upper-right corner). The pinned roundup comes from RK PR Solutions’ Ryan Keith. Many thanks for his help. The new format worked out well for me yesterday. Instead of adding to my workload it actually reduced it a bit because I didn’t have to struggle to figure out how to post some marginal items. Those will go here from now on, so keep an eye on this post every day. Anyway, watch all the action with the help of ScribbleLive…

>Chicago Sun-Times: Rauner calls federal approval of mental health money a historic health victory
Question for the Governor: since the overall state spending of federal dollars cannot increased, what will he be cutting out of current Waiver spending in order re-direct money to the pilot programs, or is he planning to use money out of GRF that receives no federal match for the pilots and what will he then cut out of GRF to pay for that? This is not a historic increase in mental health money, though I do support trying different approaches.
