A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has indefinitely suspended cuts to state programs that serve the developmentally disabled. The Arizona Republic reports that the ruling suspends at least $18 million in cuts that the Department of Economic Security ordered to help the state resolve a $1.6 billion deficit.
Disabled advocates argued that the cuts were made quickly and indiscriminately, without regard for the thousands of vulnerable people who depend on state services. They say that they accept that there will be budget cuts but that they shouild be involved in the process.
