Dear MAFF Board Members
As you know the Senate Budget contains language providing an opportunity to reverse what will otherwise be a 25% cut to the clothing allowance for FY 12.
The Conference Committee comprised of six legislators three Representatives and three Senators has begun negotiations on their fiscal year 2012 budget recommendation which will soon be sent to the Governor's desk for final approval.
For the cut to be reversed it is vital that this language and the highest possible funding level for DCF services are included in that final budget
Please call your Representative and Senator and ask them ask the members of the Conference Committee to retain
1) The foster care clothing allowance language in line item 4800-0015
2) The House funding level for line items 4800-0038 and 4800-0040

We are down to the wire on this and your efforts have made a big difference in keeping this alive so pass the word and keep the pressure on!
