Headline from an online news source.
19,000 reported on Florida Developmental Disabilities (DD) waiting list.
This is not news or anything new. The disabled have been under served for many years. Under served is a polite way to the say that the State of Florida is ignoring the needs of the disabled. By their actions it is evident that Florida and its legislators would prefer the disabled just disappear – go away – stop existing and stop being such a problem.
19,000 is a large number to ignore and leave with no services.
What the State of Florida – What Rick Scott – What the Legislature – do not realize is that they will not go away. They will keep drawing attention to the needs of the most vulnerable citizens in Florida.
One day and I hope it is soon – the citizens of Florida will insist that the disabled no longer be ignored.
In the meantime we will keep squeaking our wheels. They can not ignore us forever.
