I wanted to let you know that through the efforts of many ILC's and in particular the SSAN, there will be no cut to ILC funding in the budget agreement just passed. The SSI cut was also stopped. Your willingness to come to Albany, go to your local legislators' offices, and to get your volunteers to make calls and send emails made the difference.
Unfortunately, many other services provided by ILCs and/or used by people with disabilities were cut, including OMRDD and OMH funded services.
The fight that will start in January over next year's budget will be much harder, and we know we can count on your efforts to fight cuts once again. Thanks as always for your hard work.
