I support caring and assisting all children in our state. I am against this bill that withdraws support where it is needed. Cruelty is not necessary.

I have been with this program for about 8 years, with the same individual, and I know how this will upset this person without constant work schedules and consistently doing what he has been trained to do. For this individual is on the very low spectrum and consistency is what he desires! I have to pay for my own insurance and all automobile care. These aren't included in this program, and I chose to work this program because of the people who are in it.

I find it reprehensible that I have to petition to keep my job and services available for my son who has Down Syndrome. There are many people who don't work in my field and don't have any experience on what it takes to raise and take care of special needs adults. You want children born without fail, no matter what. But then you demonize parents for not having average kids and children for not being average. You are taking away their education and job training that can and does help them become part of the community like others. Why cut taxes if you can't take care of least of the Missourians? I thought the Governor was a Christian man, I don't know where god said that the sick, and poor were on their own. I remember most of the book saying the opposite. You are either a Christian who believes in taking care of vulnerable people or you are a heartless man who wants to take essential services and jobs away from vulnerable people who have few options when it comes to living and working. There isn't a middle ground on this. Atheists like myself shouldn't have to remind Christians of the rules they say they live for. Stop trying to eliminate the income tax. Stop trying to eliminate or greatly reduce funding to people who very much need it. Husbandry is defined as taking care of the environment around you so everything can thrive. If only middle class white people are being taken care of you are not displaying proper husbandry either.

My grandson uses SDS. He has Cerebral Palsy. The day to day care is difficult enough without having to continuously keep adding more read tape for these families. The diagnosis do NOT do away from one year or term to the next. Once there is proof the individual has the diagnosis they shouldn't havr to keep proving they have it.
