The Oregonian broke this story.
One in five adults with developmental disabilities who are in state care have been abused. Nearlly 7 in 10 caretakers quit in their first year due to low pay.
I am thankful for my independence. I feel for those who are dependent on a system that is so taxed and under funded.
I pray that the Guv and the legislature can do the right thing.
Being a government worker, I know that doing the right thing usually takes money...and getting the money depends on how hight it gets on the priority list.
Sigh...
Living and laughing with a disability - cerebral palsy; ordinary life, extraordinary circumstances.
