ADAPT MN presents the Free Our People Award to Governor Mark Dayton
Governor Dayton has shown his commitment to supporting freedom and independence of people with disabilities by:
- Vetoing the GOP Omnibus Health and Human Services finance bill, Transportation finance bill, and Jobs and Economic Development appropriations bill, remembering that Real Cuts Hurt Real People; and,
- Recognizing that enabling people with disabilities to live in our own homes in our own communities costs less than institutionalization and improves our dignity, health and safety.
Governor Dayton is a leader that the disability community can count on to:
- Include People with Disabilities in any decisions that affect our lives;
- Raise revenue to fund vital services by ensuring that the most wealthy Minnesotans are paying their fair share; and,
- Ensure that people with disabilities receive people-centered supports to free us from unnecessary, costly, inherently demeaning, frequently understaffed and sometimes abusive institutions and nursing homes.
