The state's budget woes carry extra impact for groups serving people with developmental disabilities. That's according to state Comptroller Leslie Munger. She says the budget stalemate is forcing groups to dip into reserves because her office can't cut new checks:
“I know that you Cannot budget. You cannot plan. You do not know what service you’ll be able to offer.”
Munger made her comments at Peoria's EP!C center that provides care for children and adults with mental disabilities. That group cut its respite care program for 180 families last month due to uncertain state funds.
