Although Tuesday night's community meeting got off to a late start, former state Assembly Member Laurie Saldena did take a moment out of her busy night to explain the root of our state's $25 million dollar deficit, and some of the agenda on this June's special election.
Life Works dominated the meeting, bringing half of the concerned attendees, and representing those who utilize the system for independent living support.
Here Coordinator Jacob Fiedler addresses the crowd, expressing how the $750 million dollar proposed cut to the Department of Developmental Services would directly effect the quality of services we provide, and in turn those dependent on their support staff to live full lives outside of group homes and state institutions.
Alan Wubenhort speaks to a community member about his role as Disability Commissioner at San Diego State University.
Laurie Saldena poses with Roseanne Anthony and her support staff Laura Tate. Roseanne is interested in writing letters to the Legislature to make her opinion known, and Laura will be providing form letters in the near future that we can collectively send.
Laura, Jacob and Joy

We are determined to be heard! Stay posted for more information on what you can do too.
