Expansion of handicapped services faces budget cuts in Annapolis
A Maryland plan to expand residential care, training, and other services for the developmental disabled could be derailed by budget constraints. A special committee recommended 10 million dollars yearly for five years, with 500 thousand funded by families and advocates to reduce a roughly 6,000 waiting list. Critics warn total five year costs could exceed 70 million, and state funds remain tight amid competing priorities. Advocacy groups push for broader funding and salary increases for staff as legislators weigh the political and fiscal tradeoffs.
