Cansler mental health advocate 'support' was private provider, The Arc

I was wondering who all those 'mental health advocates who supported Cansler as a choice' were.

Come out, come out, wherever you are: who were the mental health 'advocates' besides The Arc that supported the appointment of Mr. Revolving Door Cansler?

So, he was a lobbyist for:

1. The Arc (mental health provider) http://www.newsobserver.com/politics/story/1356561.html?mi_pluck_action=comment_submitted#Comments_Container

2. Value Options, the authorizing agent for NC Medicaid services

3. the company that snatched the Medicaid contract away from EDS which does the billing for NC Medicaid.

*******************

So he assisted Visingardi in eviscerating mental health in NC via privatization (provides competition!). Then seeing how badly things were going, his smart accountant head saw the EXIT sign; quick revolve around, make some big bucks, seat some of his friends (those 'mental health advocates' making money off of mentally ill people), and VOILA, back in the ringleader's seat.

I find it hard to imagine how Perdue could have made a WORSE choice.

Gosh, I better run over and see if I can get a job as a 'consultant' with The Arc before they read this post.
