The '07 budget was presented just minutes ago in the House with several comments that I wanted you to know about...
Chairman Harbin, in his presentation of the budget to the House, said about the 152 ICWP slots, "I know that this is an item that you will all appreciate...and that Rep. Jeff Brown and his committee did a great job." He went on to say that "...with the 10 slots that were funded in the '06 budget, this funding is a good move..."
Regarding the funding of the 1,500 MRWP services, Chairman Harbin said that this is "an important beginning to getting the waiting lists to a manageable level...these lists are growing at over 1,100 people ever year and this funding will help these people stay in the community."
We now need to focus our efforts to the Senate QUICKLY...so go to the Unlock Website to find out how you can help right now.
And look for our Action Alerts to come to you in the next 48 hours!
