As the Brownback administration takes pride in fiscal-year-ending
reserves, another number looms large and shamefully – the more than 7,000 Kansans with physical or developmental disabilities who are awaiting home- and community-based services.
With such services,
individuals can live independently or in homelike residential settings.
Without them, they may be forced to move into nursing homes – not only
sacrificing quality of life but costing taxpayers far more.
