your conversation with the Governor's office when you begin making your calls.
Be certain to enlist staff and clients if possible to voice their desire
to keep the CCP program viable for all seniors in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State

will be active for the Governor's office Thursday through all of next week.
We want to make as much noise as possible on Thursday so ring the phones
as much as possible. The Governor's budget address is scheduled for the
16th of February. We will know a little more accurately what is in store
after that and then with the IDoA meeting to discuss the department's budget we
will know more as to what needs to be done.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
