Our state has long prioritized health care funding, and I urge our state legislators to remember that proud tradition this session. Their first order of business should be passing last year’s capital budget. The Legislature’s failure to pass it is holding up $9.2 million for more than 17 dental projects across the state, including two in our four-county region.
