[edit] Relationship to Short-Doyle

For reference in future article expansion:

The Short-Doyle Act was passed in 1957, signed into law by Gov. Goodwin Knight. This Act put much of the burden of caring for the mentally ill on local communities, and eventually contributed to "emptying the state mental hospitals", a consequence incorrectly blamed on subsequent Governors Edmund G. "Pat" Brown and Ronald Reagan. Short-Doyle is still in effect. —Quicksilver^{T @} 02:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
