Uvalde state Sen. Roland Gutierrez and Mayor Don McLaughlin want the state to take over center being run by local DA.
The accusation came in a letter from Sen. Roland Gutierrez and Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin calling on Gov. Greg Abbott to remove Uvalde’s district attorney from oversight of the Uvalde Together Resiliency Center. “This, simply, is insufficient,” the letter states. “These families cannot begin to heal unless they are given time to grieve free from financial worry.”$5 million from the Governor’s Public Safety OfficeThe center was created to be a one-stop shop for victims’ families and suffering community members with services including mental health resources, assistance with insurance forms and other assistance.

“My constituents have told me that they are faced with dire financial demands and they are desperate for help. But, little help has been provided,” Gutierrez said.
