TALLAHASSEE — Due to a shockingly large deficit, Gov. Rick Scott is planning to invoke his emergency powers and make deep cuts to the rates charged by group homes and caseworkers who help the developmentally disabled.

For sure, just stand by the side of 75 and I'll slow down enough for your to hop in . Thanks for the clarification, I thought the poster was asking about the overall state budget cuts rather than what the OP had posted. Silly me for jumping right in without reading that story. Nevertheless I'm ticked and I'm naming off the Amendments from the Bill or Rights right now with the craziest grin on my face: "1, 2...oh 3, 4" and so on and so forth.

I AM SO VERY VERY SORRY!

I have a 47 going on 48 year old mentally retarded brother who needs constant attention which my Mom has given him all of his life here in NJ.

My parents were thinking of possibly moving to Florida till I found out about the home insurance(S) price, availability and future pricing but as well as most importantly when just two days ago I happen to make a call to a "state of florida agency for persons with disabilities" office to a nice lady who gave me the time of day and to explain that he'd be put on a huge statewide "White List" which is an extremely long wait and even not guaranteed that he'd get the disposable diapers, medical and the few hours of homemaker help he gets now in NJ if at all and even depending if there were any monies left by that time - that was the nail in the coffin. So this news article came while this was still so very fresh in my mind.

I say it's time to get out of Florida (if possible) for your sons sake.

May GOD Bless You and Yours and hope that things will work out well.

There's plenty wrong with government(s) and widespread massive corruption in this country.

The proverbial will hit the fan eventually as what's going on with this country as well as financially is not sustainable IMHO.

I'm pretty partial to 1 and 2.....cant keep my mouth shut when I encounter injustice and stupidity, and we have things out here in the woods here that can eat people, besides the obvious reasons for 2.

He's cutting in the very wrong place IMHO that affects helpless human beings in many cases.

There are so many in this country who need to be harshly humbled long term from their so-called high and mighty attitudes and wealth IMHO.

Take care.

If anyone seriously read the entire story, they'd see where the previous governor, and the legislators, made this day happen. The outcome is beyond serious, it's something that must be dealt with in a way that can legally happen.

Beyond this immediate action, people should hold both Crist and the current legislators responsible that forced this issue.
