On behalf of our members, CPNRI would like to thank the RI Legislators who supported increased funding for services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

After last year's devastating budget cut totaling over $24million dollars, several members of the General Assembly spoke out about their concern.  We would like to thank them for their support and advocacy and recognize that in these difficult times, the partial restoration we received would not have been realized without their hard work!  These legislators include:  

Senate President Teresa Paive-Weed, Leader Ruggerio, Chairman DaPonte, Sen. DiPalma, Sen. Tassoni, Sen. Doyle, Sen. Gallo, Sen. Pinga, Sen. Moura, Sen. O'Neill, Sen. Lynch, Sen. Cote, Sen. Jabour; 

Speaker of the House Gordon Fox, Leader Mattiello, Chairman Melo, Rep. O'Grady, Rep. Bennett, Rep. Ruggiero, Rep. Walsh, Rep. Morrison, Rep. McNamara, Rep. Malik, Rep. Messier, Rep. Ferri, Rep. Walsh, Rep. Cimini, Rep. Gutherie, Rep. Johnston, Rep. Phillips.
