Blankenbush Votes To Restore Funding To Programs For Developmentally Disabled
Statement from Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush (R,C,I-Black River)
June 17, 2013
“I am pleased that we did the right thing by restoring $90 million worth of funding to programs for the developmentally disabled. It was wrong of Albany to balance the budget on the backs of our most vulnerable. Fortunately, we passed a plan today that is not only fiscally responsible, but morally responsible as well.
“Sometimes it is well worth being relentless when standing up for what is right. I am glad to see that our objections to the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities cuts were heard and the funding was subsequently restored.”
