The move comes on the heels of Journal Sentinel articles on substandard living conditions for patients with chronic mental illness at the county's mental health complex and in private housing. A story Thursday told of the death in January of Joseph Droese, 46, a mentally ill man living at West Samaria, a west side rooming house. The article said Droese's death went unnoticed for four days.
