So, how did YSBs do? In the end, we were able to mitigate a nearly $1.4 million cut down to $150,000. Yes, it is a cut and I hate every penny of it! However, but for the work WE ALL DID, it could’ve been so much worse!!! Every single person who made a phone call, sent an email, spoke to their legislators, deserves credit for showing the power of what a dedicated group of people can do to change policy. I thank you all! Read More... |

If members have not already done so, please call their legislators asking for their support for the YSB funding. Every call matters! Read More.... |

I highly recommend that YSB Directors and supporters begin calling their Legislators requesting that YSB funding remains in the budget at the levels that both the Appropriations Committee and Republican alternative budgets set forth. Read More. |

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. |

The unofficial mid-session lull has hit the Capitol. All but three Committees (Judiciary, Appropriations and Finance) have met their deadlines and are in fact acting on bills referred to them by both Chambers. Read More,,,,, |

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.
