Assembly Speaker Silver In Favor of Restoring $120 Million Cut to Disabled.. Posted on Thursday, February 28 @ 14:19:18 EST by jfbailey

WPCNR ALBANY ROUNDS. EXCLUSIVE By John F. Bailey. February 28, 2013: A source close to the action surrounding Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposed $120 Million cut in funds for the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities, has updated WPCNR on the furor the Governor's proposal has caused among legislators. According to this source, in touch with his lobbying representatives in the state capitol:
"The Assembly Speaker (Sheldon Silver) has come out in support of restoring the (OPWDD) cuts, which is very positive news. There were legislative hearings yesterday (WEDNESDAY) and I understand the legislators were very angry about the cuts. It (THE CUTS) would affect any program that is funded by Medicaid through OPWDD. I believe services for people under 21 are funded through the State Education Dept. and local school districts, so they would not be affected."
