I am greatly looking forward to going to Tallahassee to attend the Legislative session and speaking to our state representatives on behalf of Lake Mary's tax payers like myself! I want to know where our tax dollars are going not only at the local level, but even moreso at the state level. I am very disappointed in the fact that severe cuts are being made to the senior citizens and disabled population. Developmentally disabled persons are losing necessary services in order to maintain a productive, healthy life. Group homes are closing, and necessary medical services that keep thier bodies functioning halfway normal are being taken away. And what of low income seniors with no family to care for them and very limited resources? Who will speak for the populations that cannot speak for themselves? These are the very people we should be caring for!
While I agree all budgets do have fat in them that can be cut, we should be cutting necessary services LAST - AFTER the fat.
