Steinberg proposes $10 billion U.S. Mental Health Plan

    President Obama's proposal to expand mental health programs in response to the Newtown, Connecticut massacre is a good start but much more should be done, accoding to Californi state Senate leader Darrell Steinberg.

   Steinberg is travelling to Washington DC next week to urge federal officials to spend $10 billion more on mental health early intervention, school-based services and treatment modeled after the system funded in California under Prop 63.

   He hopes to meet with Vice-President Biden or his staff during his visit.
