Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee; funding withholds will cause your constituents with disabilities to face even greater turnover than they already do, which is a repulsive way to treat Missouri’s most vulnerable population.  They need your voice! #MOLeg

[Starling @Starling_MO]

We are desperate for an increase in our rates, which can only be set by you as a member of the General Assembly.  Please don’t let politics stand in the way of renewing the FRA. #MOLeg

So, I started my day at 4:15 am heading to the gym and this is what I found in my front yard! Thank you @SCWPTO for the flock of beautiful pink flamingos. #TraditionsFundraiser #HappyToBeApart #PennyLovedIt

Later today, the Senate Approps Committee will have a chance to change things for the better.  We are watching and rooting for the right choice to fully fund DD Rate Standardization.   #HB10 #Page107 #StandardizeRates

The Administration for Community Living (ACL) was created around the principle that older adults and people with disabilities should be able to live where they choose, with the people they choose, and with the ability to participate fully in their communities. #DDawareness2021

[Starling @Starling_MO]

Standardizing rates must be done to eliminate the varying rate system and increasing wages is the only way we can start attracting people to fill our frontline essential jobs!

#MOLeg we cannot do this without your support!

DSP turnover has a negative impact on the individuals receiving services. DSP turnover impacts almost every area of the individual’s quality of life. MO providers need support to recruit, hire, & retain DSP employees by fully funding rates.
