"I applaud the Senate leadership today for agreeing to restore $120 million dollars in proposed spending cuts to the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. As I have said before, I believe that we cannot balance the budget on the backs of people with developmental disabilities, including the many agencies who provide critical care for our most vulnerable populations. The Senate has acted wisely and I am hopeful that we can pass an on-time balanced budget that continues to fully fund these vital services."
