Agencies prepare for drastic cuts to individual funds as a result of the General Assembly's FY12 budget passed in June.
Agencies have already faced $9.5 million in cuts to services, and staff as a result of the Governor's proposed budget savings for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011. But as of October 1st, they are bracing themselves for devastating reductions in funding - an additional $14.5 million in reductions to services, supports and transporation resources. Service organizations say this is a "tipping point" from which they will not rebound. Salary and benefit reductions, layoffs, and program closures are anticipated.
