As parents of a special needs child my wife and I understand and have always operated on the assumption that It is our responsibility to take care of him. That said It is a blessing to receive this type of funding and if the state is going to offer it it should be available to every family that needs it not first come first serve whoever gets their name in the hat first. I understand that there is always the concern for abuse of the system but in this instance I think it is best to help families first, make it easy to get that help and then take care of any regulatory issues. Let's default to funding everybody that needs it and fixing any broken parts that may arise later instead of making it harder on people who need it now because some legislators want to drag their feet on helping those most in need. Thank you for your time.
