Who'll help disabled

Posted March 13, 2018 1:00 am

I'm still not really sure which choice for governor would be best in regards to their position for fair and equal treatment for individuals with disabilities. I understand Mr. Kennedy has a family connection to the Special Olympics, but that doesn't make him an expert on solving the problems this state is having on funding issues related to Medicaid and other kinds of disability funding.

I find it sad that when the cost of living went up and everyone on Social Security received a minimal increase on their checks, the SNAP benefits were decreased at the exact same time. I wish to support a candidate who will make sure people with disabilities, some of our most vulnerable citizens, do not have to stage yet another sit-in to make sure their health care is no longer threatened by the president or anyone else.
