Hello folks. This relates directly to our fight to preserve medical care for
the blind. It is a helpful but not a decisive development.  I still believe
that the decisive element in this will be how hard we work, how many letters
we write, how many phone calls we make, and how many visits we can manage to
our state capital.  Here is the information.

State budget director submits three Governor's Amendments to recommended
budget for FY 2013

 

JEFFERSON CITY, MO - State Budget Director Linda Luebbering today filed
three Governor's Amendments to Gov. Jay Nixon's recommended budget for
Fiscal Year 2013.  These amendments are as follows:

 

n  The first amendment adds $18 million, $17.75 million of which would be
available to assist the Senate with fully restoring vital health care
services to approximately 2,800 needy blind Missourians.  These additional
funds are available to the state because of additional Medicaid earnings.

 

n  The second amendment uses the remaining $250,000 to respond to and
analyze the impact of Missouri's military bases on the nation's military
readiness and economy.

 

n  The third amendment adds $50 million to implement a more efficient,
computer-driven enrollment system for state health care programs.  Federal
funding is available for the purpose of implementing this enrollment system.
