Are you willing to spend 20 minutes to save $21 million?
Hello all:
The state budget (HB 64) as introduced included an historic investment of new monies for Ohio’s DD system. This new investment included monies for rate increases for DSPs, new waivers, ICF transition and nursing in the IO among other things. In my 25 years in our system I have never witnessed a one-time commitment of this magnitude. And I don’t expect to see it again in my remaining years.
Due to alternative cost projections the DD budget as voted by the House of Representatives was reduced. The Director of DD has been clear that absent restoration of these lost monies the above initiatives are in jeopardy. OPRA’s priority is to restore those funds. Will you help?
What can you do?
Please take just 20 minutes to send the below e-mail to every Senate member on the attached list. Then ask your administrative team, your employees, your Board members and your families to do the same. It’s very simple. The below e-mail (no changes) to each and every one of the Senators on the attached list. The more volume the better!
By when?
This is urgent and is just the first step. Please complete by this coming Friday, May 1st. We need everyone!
Thank you--Jeff
Dear Senator (Name):
I write to request the Ohio Senate use the as introduced budget numbers for the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities in your consideration of Sub. HB 64. The Governor’s budget made a historic investment in Ohio’s developmental disabilities system. The new monies in their entirety represent a comprehensive and interwoven approach to our system’s current and future needs.
Please vote to support Ohio’s developmental disabilities system by using the Governor's original budget numbers. The funding is critically important to thousands of Ohioan’s with developmental disabilities. Thank you for your time and consideration.
