Write to your legislator — Thank them for their help in stopping cuts to the OPWDD Budget
Dear Friends,
This week both the Senate and Assembly passed resolutions to include the restoration of funds to the OPWDD Budget this includes $120 million in state funds preventing a reduction for the budgets of private, not for profit providers like Schenectady ARC.
Schenectady ARC, is asking that you thank your legislator for their action. However, the fight for funding is not over. This resolution merely means that both the Senate and Assembly have heard our justification for the restoration of funds. We still need to persuade the Governor of the importance of these funds and the impact the cuts will have.
We thank you for your continued advocacy and support and please share your gratitude with your legislator for the support they have shown.
