What a great week for YSBs!
Wednesday was the 11th annual YSB Day at the Capitol! While I can’t speak for the attendees or staff who put the event together, from my standpoint, the day went very well. Yes, we had to maneuver around an 11:00 a.m. Appropriations Committee meeting which robbed us of several of the Legislators we expected for our panel discussion, however, those who did make it were exceptional! This was by far the largest number of kids we’ve had at this event…ever! Read More..... |

Senate and House Republicans announced their alternative budget Friday morning. I am happy to report that YSBs were treated exceedingly well as they restored EVERY PENNY of YSB funding in both line items back into the budget. |

It isn’t every day that a child of fifteen can walk into a J.C. Penny and claim whatever she wants. For Suhailey Oday that moment came once and she sought to make the most of it. With her friend as backup, Suhailey entered the department store armed with nothing but an empty bag. She would see something that caught her eye and immediately tuck it away without concern for the price. When she was through browsing and concealing the items, she tried to make a quick and easy getaway. That was until she was stopped at the entrance by an undercover mall security guard, who had been following her every move from the perfumes to the shoes and through to the lingerie section.

As the Committees begin to hit their deadlines, things are beginning to slow down just a bit.
Of course the budget continues to be top priority and clearly remains the elephant in the room.
On Wednesday evening, the Office of Fiscal Analysis reported that THIS YEAR’S budget deficit has grown to nearly $190 million. If the Comptroller’s office agrees and certifies that number, then technically, that would trigger the Governor to call the Legislature into session in order to mitigate that deficit. OPM has said that there could potentially be yet another round of rescission cuts made, however, that remains to be seen. I will keep you up to date. Read More..... |

Less hectic! Those are the words that described this week in regards to Youth Service Bureaus. I told you last week that Rep. Andy Fleischmann had requested information of CYSA about the overlap of the SBDI program with what services YSBs already provide. That information has been put together and sent it to him.

Last week I told you that Rep. Fleischmann requested specific information and data from CYSA in regards to funding, JRBs and how the micro SBDI program overlaps YSB programming. This week that gathered information bore fruit (more on that in a moment). |
