0:00:04.038 --> 0:00:05.888
[Shamus O'Meara] Chris from the

0:00:05.888 --> 0:00:06.620
Star Tribune mentioned

0:00:06.620 --> 0:00:07.916
the Olmstead plan.

0:00:07.916 --> 0:00:09.304
I don't believe that the

0:00:09.304 --> 0:00:11.424
Star Tribune or KSTP or

0:00:11.424 --> 0:00:12.601
KARE 11 or Channel 9

0:00:12.601 --> 0:00:13.595
or anybody else out there

0:00:13.595 --> 0:00:15.217
would have picked up

0:00:15.217 --> 0:00:16.565
a story about the Olmstead plan

0:00:16.565 --> 0:00:18.225
unless it was predicated

0:00:18.225 --> 0:00:20.411
on a lawsuit involving abuse.

0:00:20.411 --> 0:00:22.508
You know, the phone's not ringing,

0:00:22.508 --> 0:00:23.842
it's not getting picked up

0:00:23.842 --> 0:00:24.709
the right way.

0:00:24.709 --> 0:00:27.763
And I am probably jaded because

0:00:27.763 --> 0:00:29.874
I deal with these issues as a lawyer

0:00:29.874 --> 0:00:31.581
on behalf of families every day.

0:00:31.581 --> 0:00:33.551
But we get phone call

0:00:33.551 --> 0:00:36.067
after phone call every single day

0:00:36.067 --> 0:00:38.234
by families who want some help.

0:00:38.234 --> 0:00:41.360
We do not have, in my view,

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.895
an aggressive centralized

0:00:43.895 --> 0:00:49.075
lobby campaign, or a group

0:00:49.075 --> 0:00:51.227
or focus that's suggested

0:00:51.227 --> 0:00:53.114
by Paul about these issues.
