Budget cuts would cost MO foster children millions in state aid. ‘Death blow’ “It’s not a reduction,” said Lori Ross, CEO of FosterAdopt Connect of the budget proposal. “... It’s totally eliminating the service, and we haven’t been able to find out why.”

“It will eliminate our ability to provide prevention services that prevent families from having their kids brought into care. It’ll prevent us from serving relative & kinship families.” “Kids aging out (of foster care) will have zero support”

These cuts are due to mismanagement of funds by this PC govt, removing tolls and a 1% tax cut were the wrong move.
