VAN DREW GETS NAMED TO TASK FORCE ON DEVELOPMENTAL CENTERS

A legislative task force is going to look at state psychiatric hospitals and developmental centers. There will be members of both parties on this task force, including State Senator Jeff Van Drew. Van Drew has pushed for the Vineland Developmental Center to remain open. Gov. Chris Christie recently said he was 98 percent sure he was going to close the Vineland Developmental Center. Van Drew said that could cost over 1,000 jobs. The task force is going to look at all of the developmental centers and psytriatric hospitals in the state.
