A friend of mine worked at the Handicapped Development Center doing piece-work for John Deere. She loved her job, and every Friday she got a small paycheck and paid her taxes. She also loved the friends who worked there. Her self-image was great.
But the Legislature said they couldn’t afford to fund her and her friends any further. Now she goes to dayhab, watches television, plays games, gets no paycheck, pays no taxes and has a poor self-image. The Legislature needs to remember that they are supposed to help all Iowans, especially the neediest, and not discriminate against them.
Please restore funding for the mentally handicapped and mentally disabled Iowans.
