Ohio Senate's Medicaid Committee sets public state budget hearing schedule

April 27, 2015 / Medicaid

Right now Ohio lawmakers are in the middle of the state budget process. They are choosing how much money to spend on supporting people with disabilities to live in their own communities. They are also talking about how to run programs for people with disabilities in the future. People with disabilities, just like other Ohioans, can contact their lawmakers to tell them about their views, opinions and wishes. The Ohio Senate’s Medicaid Committee is currently reviewing the budget and will be hearing from the public on Thursday, May 7 and Thursday, May 14 at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio.
