ORANGE DRUG ABUSE OUTFIT DENIED FUNDS
ORANGE - The rented building in the rear parking lot of a shopping center is
filled with former addicts trying to help others go straight.
The staff members at the Orange County Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
have seen their share of battles, but the latest battle has them worried
about funding and upset about a community's perception.
When the Orange City Council denied funding to the agency June 13, it was
just another blow to the 46-year-old organization that has already seen a
65-percent cut from United Way over the past two years.
