Act Today!
Posted by 7/9/09 in Advocacy & Public Policy
From the NC Providers Council:
Your advocacy efforts have helped enact change in the NC budget negotiations. We have made progress, but we still need your help.
It is critical that all of us — every staff, every person we support and his/her family make known to our Senators and Representatives the urgent need to raise enough taxes to prevent the neglect of the health and safety of people with developmental disabilities, mental illness and substance abuse in North Carolina, and the loss of tens of thousands of jobs across North Carolina.
On Tuesday, July 14, 2009, at 8:30 a.m., please call the Senate and House leadership and Appropriations Conferees Chairpersons and make them hear the voices of the people losing services and losing their jobs. Personalize your message, and include the county in which you reside. Tell them to support raising at least $150 million in taxes for DHHS to
- prevent neglecting the health and safety of people with developmental disabilities, mental illness and substance abuse in North Carolina
- avoid $1.4 billion in loss of payments for Medicaid services and tens of thousands of jobs that provide these services, including hundreds or thousands of jobs in your county.
Harming the most valuable North Carolinians is not an option.
