Keep up ther pressure!

It can not be stress enough how serous the budget cuts for funding just might be, especially to our own agency. Pioneer’s President and CEO Lorraine Kopczynski, is currently in Springfield doing her part to address this issue. She has made people aware that “If the General Assembly does not approve new revenue, then state funded services - including community DD and MH services - could be cut by as much as 51% in the final budget! We know community services cannot endure ANY cuts without eroding services and supports. Cuts of this magnitude would DEVASTATE the community system beyond repair! We also know that the community system requires survival provisions to sustain the services that are currently being provided!” We would like to encourage everyone to contact your Legislators. If you need a list of names and numbers, please let me know. All of us need to keep up the pressure!
