Critics Lambaste Plan To Cut Funds From Disabled Services

Jerry Brown's (D) budget proposal to remove up to $750 million from developmental services. The governor's proposal details $216.5 in cuts to the Department of Developmental Services and calls for the department to put forward other ideas for cost reductions.
