More is on the way as witnessed by Trump's spending priorities. Sure, Congress might differ from Trump, but it too is aligned on cutting human service dollars (along with environmental). It's going to be a numbers game in legislature. Great programs funding relatively few citizens are going to be cut to the bone. Considering Inslee is getting slapped by our state Court for not handling mental health issues, and considering McCleary is looming, and the writing is on the wall for expanded Medicaid dollars being slashed, our disabled population is in a world of hurt. <br /><br />Sure, campaign for better in our state. But more strategically, talk to friends and family in states that voted red and see if you can get traction. It happens one conversation at a time. <br /><br />EdVoterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
