Do not let Deval Patrick cut $78 million from the DMR's budget. And unless a whole lot of us a make a whole lot of noise, our Governor and his administration will make this next chop to the DMR's budget on July 1st, which is the beginning of fiscal year 2010. And, according to the ARC of Central Massachusetts, the State of Massachusetts can place Federal Medicaid dollars into the General Fund. That menas Medicaid re-imbursement increases can be used for other areas of the state budget instead of the family supports they are intended for.
Well it's our money too. And we have the right to tell our local legislators how we want our hard-earned Massachusetts tax payer dollars spent.
