Murray Center Parents Gear Up for Appeal

The Murray Parents Association is planning to appeal a ruling that allows Governor Quinn to shut down the Murray Developmental Center in Centralia.

Rita Winkeler says her son, like many other residents at Murray, have severe disabilities and would not survive in any other setting. Many parents argue the residents wll end up in jails or in psychatric wards where they really won't get the care they need.

Quinn has been trying to shut the Center down for several years now, hoping to save more than $22 million.
