I was shocked reading Amanda Fries' article “Wadsworth plan left out of budget," Jan. 26, the title alone was jarring. How could the state not include funding for the new Wadsworth Center? Has Wadsworth proven its ROI over the years and now as we battle COVID-19? My answer is yes. Can we afford not to invest in the new Wadsworth Center? My answer is no.
