Talking points:

1. The developmental services system was created by Frank Lanterman, a Republican from Pasadena, and signed into law by Governor Ronald Reagan, nearly 50 years ago.
2. Without the legislator’s support of this package, the harm will be personal, hurting [you, your family member, etc.].
3. The Lanterman Act has been critical in helping people live in the community, instead of state-run developmental centers.
4. This funding package will help save small businesses in our community that are on the brink of closing their doors because of chronic underfunding by the State.
5. Without this funding package, even more service providers will close, depriving more people with developmental disabilities of the services and supports they need to live independent lives in the community.
