There were a number of articles that covered the wrap up of the budget. Such as the
AP's coverage in the Macon Telegraph and
the Statesboro Herald that mentioned Unlock
The budget would also fund 1,500 new slots for services for mentally and developmentally disabled adults and children. The Senate had wanted to fund 3,000 slots to cut into a waiting list of over 6,000 people.
Brandon Larrabee with the
Augusta Chronicle mentioned Unlock in his piece saying
Thousands of Georgians with disabilities will receive home health-care services and state employees will get raises of as much as 7 percent under an $18.6 billion state budget deal struck Thursday by negotiators for the House and Senate...Lawmakers who approved the spending plan said it provides 1,500 slots that will allow those with development disabilities to receive care at home, removing some from a waiting list thousands of names long.
Other papers covered the budget with no mention of our funding; such as the
Gwinnett Daily Post, the
Columbus Ledger-Enquirer,
WXIA-Channell 11, and the
AJC.
