Vote FOR Issue 20
On November 6, Issue 20 provides an essential
insurance policy for every family in our community. No matter when someone
you love needs help, Issue 20 provides drug and alcohol treatment, a 24-hour
suicide prevention hotline and mental health services. What’s more,
Issue 20 helps children who are tragic victims of physical and sexual abuse
with programs they need to recover. My organization, the Please know that Issue 20 is a
wise community investment and, over the long run, saves taxpayer money. Drug
treatment costs 15 times less than putting someone in jail for a drug related
crime. The ADM Board, which hasn’t asked
voters for an increase in 12 years (1997–2009, when Issue 20 will take
effect), has a long history of managing taxpayer money responsibly to provide
services that work, and 96 cents of every dollar in the ADM
system goes to direct service agencies. I encourage you to learn more
about Issue 20 at www.votefor20.com, and on
November 6, please vote FOR Issue 20! Remember, when people recover,
they become productive citizens who work, pay taxes and take care of their
families. In good health,
Ted Ziegler CEO, Chair,
