The legislation has not advanced since a committee hearing in May.Keithly hopes to see at least some funding restored as Massachusetts recovers from the recession.“I think we’re a very good investment,” she said. “I’m optimistic that when the commonwealth is not under such financial stress that funds will be available again for efforts that promote tobacco cessation and that are geared from stopping young people from starting (to smoke).”
Ahh well austerity is hard on everyone.
I imagine the funding will shift to obesity programs if it isn't cut entirely.
