Advocates Rally for Disabled Kansans at Statehouse

Hundreds of advocates rallied at the Statehouse today (WED) to urge lawmakers to increase funding for programs for the developmentally disabled. Tom Laing (lang) is the executive director of InterHab, a group that advocates on behalf of disabled Kansans. He's hoping the rally will encourage legislators to restore funding cut from social service programs in recent years.


Laing says budget proposals in the Statehouse would add funding to reduce waiting lists for some services, but cut state dollars from other programs for the disabled.

Stephen Koranda is KPR's Statehouse reporter.
