July Zoom Meeting
Our first zoom meeting July 29: Rep. Rob Ecklund, Chair of the MN House Labor, Industry, Veterans and Military Affairs Finance and Policy Committee was a guest. He listened to each of the participants personal stories about how center-based 14c employment services for their disabled family member must not be eliminated as advocated by some groups and legislators.
The 2021 MN Legislature Special Session passed legislation, late in the session, without public hearings and debate, that creates a taskforce to plan the phase out and elimination of 14c special wages paid in center-based employment programs.
A-Team MN families are outraged by attempts to eliminate successful special wage opportunities in center-based programs where people with I/DD can choose to receive appropriate supports and vocational options.
A-Team MN will be attending taskforce meetings and providing updates on this topic each month. Alerts may be sent more frequently.
