Steve Gravelle's article about disabled people was outstanding

If you are a parent of a disabled child, please read Steve Gravelle's June 5 article, “Out of money.”
He did an outstanding job in regard to the plight of our disabled people. We thank you very much.
As I am a parent, I will continue to work on this. It is very hard when we are up against politicians; after all, the only power we have is being parents of disabled children. I can remember when our workshops were filled with working people (mostly piece meal). It was operated as a business, everyone worked if they could. Now this is being taken away by the powerful (not by parents), who also pay taxes for the workshops and meaningful work.
We are very proud of our workshops and Gravelle.
