ADMHS Again in Financial Trouble?

Supervisors expressed collective disbelief Tuesday when a financial update showed that ADMHS (Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services) may find itself $1.8 million deeper in the red. Budget woes in the department date back to 2008, but within the last two weeks, the agency was apprised that an audit could result in a disallowance of up to $1.8 million from the state. ADMHS spokesperson Suzanne Grimmesey said the department will likely learn many more details in coming weeks.
