Vermont Mental Health Commissioner Jonathon Leopold warned that the proposed fiscal 1972 budget cuts by Gov. Deane C. Davis could seriously cripple department programs. The Vermont Association for Mental Health urged lawmakers to restore funding, arguing the $846,000 cut would lengthen patient stays at Waterbury State Hospital and worsen care. Leopold agreed with the association’s concerns but said he would not lobby, under the governor’s directive, leaving advocacy to the association and its executive director Anne Grenier.
