So did it happen on purpose or is it proposed to happen? Or supposed to happen? Or are you opposed to it all together?

Why is the government funding Special Olympics? Couldn't this be easily made up by voluntary corporate donors? Is this a real cut or just a cut in the rate of funding increases?

Devos is recommending cuts to the programs that fund Special Olympics programs/special education classes in public schools.

Is it the only thing that is getting cut? Or is this just a PR push cause it's possible? Our govt needs to look at al it pays for, and force people getting money to prove they still deserve it. We also need to stop the way budgets are accessed on how much is spent the prior year.

OP....how much did you donate to the Special Olympics over the years?
