Good news reaching us from our delegation in the House of Representatives. One comes from Representative Diana DiZoglio and the other from Representative Frank Moran.
DiZoglio informs us that because of her actions, the House approved and included in the FY15 budget an amendment that ensure $124,888 to help disabled veterans seeking employment opportunities.
For his part, Representative Frank Moran said that two of his amendments were approved. This increases the funds for adult basic education and teaching English as a second language.
According to the report, funds totaling $100,000 will be shared between the Lawrence Family Development Charter School and Education Fund and Casa Dominicana (Dominican House). The first, LFDEF, a firmly established institution with a spotless bilingual education record deserving of the financial aid.
Moreover, Casa Dominicana, Inc., is a nonprofit organization that helps parents become economically independent by providing them with ESL, Citizenship and Basic Computer classes, which since being established has been providing these services to citizens without distinction of race, nationality or residence, by instructors, some of them teachers from the system in their own time and others already retired offering their services for free.
Finally, the amendment that ensures funds to help disabled veterans seeking employment opportunities cannot be fairer. Who’s better if not those who have sacrificed everything for the rest of us?
From these pages we congratulate our delegates for the work being done and commend them for following that path of success.
