The proposal to replace the Detroit-Wayne Community County Mental Health Agency county board with an independent authority is still a possibility, according to the agency's "transitional director." Richard Visingardi, who has a master's degree from Wayne State, conceded "there is an ongoing issue about whether the agency should be under the auspices of the county or a free-standing authority." Gov. Granholm vetoed legislation in December to replace Wayne County oversight and the agency's 12-member board with an independent authority. The article notes that a new contract has been signed with Wayne State to study the county\'s mental health programs.
