Within this article Ramshaw mentions that the private providers were stripped of their responsibility of taking care of those with disabilities and giving it to the local Texan government of the Mental Retardation Authorities. This is something that has to be taken on by the Legislature. Ms. Castle states that "The state has created a situation where future growth is primarily in the private sector, but they’re still allowing a public sector option for consumers who feel more comfortable there.”
This is connected to what we are learning in class about direct government. When responsibility is taken away from the public and given to the government.
