Advocates for Minnesotans with disabilities want Governor Mark Dayton to call a special session or otherwise intervene, so there’s not a seven-percent funding cut for home- and community-based services.  Doctor Sheryl Grassie says otherwise

The measures that disability advocates want were part of a major budget bill the legislature passed but Dayton vetoed it over other concerns.
