Taking a look around the state, things don't look promising for OCCCRC:
Per PD Laramore: Lewis Hasn't hired a staff:

With cuts in the state budget and expected cuts in local budgets, where is this all going. Have they done the math yet? Was this on the FCAT? Hopefully for the indigent clients these offices are charged with representing, this will turn around fast - but without appropriate funding what representation will they get????
Regional counsel might start taking cases in 17th circuit dependency this coming week. I'm not sure how well staffed the office is. We have five judges, three general magistrates, mediation that is routinely utlilized in dependency and then there is appeals, depositions, office administration, client contact (can't forget that) . . . . That is what they need to cover. I'll be posting the progress.
