Does Homecare Advocates Urge the California Legislature: Stand up to Governor?
Representatives of more than 450,000 seniors and people with disabilities and those who care for them today urged the State Legislature to fight Gov. Schwarzenegger’s mean-spirited and hypocritical proposal to destroy the In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program. In his 2010-2011 spending plan released today, the governor proposes to effectively dismantle IHSS, a nationally recognized program which helps 450,000 low-income disabled, senior and blind Californians stay safely at home and avoid unnecessary, expensive and unwanted institutionalization.
