Columbia, SC -- Proposed budget cuts in the State House would cuase 26,000 people with disabilities and special needs to lose services in South Carolina.
Juanita Banks was one of many advocates for people with disabilities and special needs who showed up at the State House for a rally Wednesday. Her daughter, Tammy Lamb, needs services that total more than $52,000 per year.
"Tammy was born with Cerebral Palsy, mental retardation. She weighed one pound, 13 ounces at birth," Banks said. Banks is a single working parent who does not get child support.
"Who is going to pay for that? I mean, I can't," she said.
