The state's effort to privatize the Richmond State Hospital might not be dead after all.
Mitch Roob, secretary of the Indiana Family and Social Service Administration, said Tuesday that he would like to "revisit" the effort in 2009.
"We'd like to take another look at it," Roob said. "I do think that at the hospital they do a terrific job and over time they can expand their role into something much more vital outside our umbrella."
