Governor’s Budget does not address the 7% Cut
This last Friday, March 16th, Governor Dayton released his 2018 Supplemental Budget. ARRM was disappointed to see that Governor Dayton did not address the 7% cut in his budget proposal. ARRM CEO Sue Schettle released this statement stating that it is now up to the legislature to protect services for people with disabilities.

Day at the Capitol Conversations Making a Difference
We are hearing from legislators that the conversations they had with constituents during last week’s successful ARRM/MOHR Day at the Capitol are making a difference. We need to keep the pressure on, if you haven’t done so already, reach out to your legislators and tell them to Stop the Cut. You can find more specific information on what to say to your legislators here.
