Dear Virginia Policy and Lawmakers, 

Were you aware that other states entirely FUND the DD Waivers? There is no waitlist in North Carolina, Massachusetts, New York, Nebraska, Vermont, Minnesota, and plenty more. It's funded. Yes. ALL the DD waivers are funded.

What is the problem Virginia? Incompetence? Laziness to correct the band-aid? Lack of Vision. Virginia, as usual, is behind on this. Stop making it harder for the people in this state whose lives are hard enough.  For once catch up or lead the way. Seriously, this new policy proposal has red-tape written all over it. and sounds like it will take even longer to sort out who gets what kind of "band-aid monies" when, in reality, IFSP shouldn't even exist.  

Stop with the band-aids! 

FUND THE DD WAIVERS NOW!
