Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hello Families Network! The Governor signed the budget bill yesterday so the State budget has now been finalized. Everything we were expecting to see in the final budget is there, so there has been no change to the information from my last email. Once again, thank you so much for all of your advocacy! While our system remains chronically underfunded and we have a lot of progress that needs to be made, this really has been a very successful budget season for the disability community given the fiscal climate we were dealing with. This is just one more example of the power of families' voices and your personal stories - thanks so much! If you have a minute to send a thank you email to your legislators and to the Governor for agreeing to a budget compromise that included critically-important restorations to funding for services, it would be great to let them know we appreciate their support and will help us when we are looking for their help again next year. Again, thank you for being such active advocates! Have a wonderful summer!
