SOSFor those of you who have been living under a rock lately, the economy is dreadful.  The District has been no exception.  The Mayor has proposed about $100 million in budget cuts that will disproportionatly affect the hungry and the homeless. 

$52 million of those cuts are coming from Human Support Services and Other Low-Income Programs.  To put this in prospective, the next largest cut is for Public Education at $17 million. 

I urge all of you to visit the Save Our Saftey Net website, look through the information, and sign the petition to urge the City Council to reconsider their budget cuts.  The hungry and homeless shouldn’t face the brunt of the economic burden for the rest of the District.
