• The Arc asks that the legislature maintains Governor Healey’s Chapter 257 workforce investment that will bring direct support staff to a median floor of $20 per hour.
• The Arc asks that the legislature maintains the increases in life-line DDS line items and reconsiders the cuts to MassHealth that will affect thousands.
