WELCOME

Among those of us who care deeply for and about people with developmental disabilities, I hope to hear emerge a new voice, ours, rising together for the benefit of all, harmonizing with reason, respect and hope, and transcending divisions, giving birth to a new era of creative cooperation.

Toward this potential, DD EXCHANGE is for conversation, civil sounding off, sharing of stories, experience, information, resources, and inspiration, giving and receiving support, and creative problem solving.

more on SB6182

Understanding that it is never over until the budget is signed by the Governor, if all goes well, SB-6182, the bill that would have removed RHCs from state statute, has died. As of 5:45, with cut-off at 6:00, it had not passed out of the Rules Committee, and Committee Chair Brad Owens' Aide did not consider it probable that it would at such a late hour.

How this would affect the budget proviso that would fund closure of FHMC is a question mark. In theory it should prevent it but those of us who depend on RHC services and those who want to be able to, some day, will have to stay vigilant right up to the end.
