Welcome to

After two weeks on pins and needles, disabled Floridians and their caregivers are breathing a sigh of relief. Governor Rick Scott cut funding for agencies providing in-home services to disabled Floridians April 1st. But after protests, phone calls, and letters decrying the cuts… Scott changed his mind. State Senator Mike Fasano says Scott never should have cut their budget to begin with.

“Governor Scott, sometimes will make a decision without realizing the true impact and the impact would have been horrendous for those with disabilities throughout the state of Florida. I’m thankful he stepped up to the plate, our leaders stepped up to the plate and these individuals will not be sacrificed,” said Fasano.

Scott made the cuts because the Agency for Persons with Disabilities was 170 million dollars in the hole. He restored the money once lawmakers found a way to cover the deficit using money from next year’s budget.
