Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay
Papen on Wednesday sharply criticized Gov. Susana Martinez for vetoing a bill
aimed at providing outreach to the mentally ill and called an administration
program that oversees behavioral health “ineffective and unproductive.”
Papen also wrote that “as is too often the case,
the governor has discounted the collective judgment of the Legislature in favor
of her own” when she vetoed the bill that passed both houses with only one
dissenting vote.
Papen, who has a schizophrenic grandson, is a longtime
advocate for the mentally ill.
