Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?

It would have happened this way and you wouldn't have had this problem.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?

So how do we get to that point to where it doesn't matter where you're from?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

If the person needs help, they just get the help.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Yes, you have some very valid points there.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?

It always amazes me how one part of the country might have something that's really, really successful, and then you look around the country to find out if there's any others, and there aren't any to be found.

One example is there's a judge in Las Vegas.

This wasn't planned, but after everything evolved, it wound up being a court system that diverted teenagers that were autistic out of the system so that they could learn and grow and hopefully not ever return to the system.

This became hugely successful.

And from what I understand, there's not another one like it in the country.

Another example on the mental illness side is a judge in Florida started diverting people to a facility.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

He found by diverting them, getting them the help they needed, he wouldn't see them in front of him in his court again.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

I'm amazed that this type of process has not expanded across the U.S.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

and other states and counties are doing the same.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Yes, exactly.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

What do you think is important for our listeners to hear that you are trying to do within your state and that you're trying to do for everyone that needs the help across the country?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Yes, that's great information.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Like they say, an email, a letter, a phone call will not be returned unless you take the time to make it.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Well, this has been great.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Great information.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Great conversation.
