Quote of the Day 12/2/2014

“In the state budget or the federal budget, direct services get the lion’s share of funding, but doing this prevention work and trying to get kids to never start smoking is so important so they don’t end up with cancer and other problems. If we don’t stop the pipeline, we’re only going to need more and more treatment services.”
