NY Service Providers Fight 6 Percent Cut

With the federal government cutting its Medicaid funding to New York, the state is poised to cut 6 percent from its funding to organizations that assist people with developmental disabilities, something local organizations say will greatly affect families they serve.Valerie Muratori, executive director of Saratoga Bridges, said the 6 percent cut means $1.3 million will be slashed from the organization’s budget.
“It’s really going to change the way we provide services,” Muratori said.
