    Disabilities program may be getting reprieve

    Good news for the disability communities anxiously watching the complex end-of-session machinations at the Capitol: it appears the proposed $140,000 cut to the Self Advocacy Network has been reinstated by a working group in the supplemental budget conference committee.

    The Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities had lobbied for restoring the funding, arguing the program is a crucial step in helping disabled Minnesotans live "independent lives, be self-sufficient, work and pay taxes."

    Nothing at the Legislature is over until it's over, of course, but this one's headed the right way, the advocates say. — Joe Kimball
