LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: D.C.’s history serving people with disabilities is full of mistakes. It can’t afford to make another. By Editor On Aug 9, 2019 Last updated Aug 9, 2019 16 Share WHEN A federal judge in 2017 ended 40 years of court supervision of the District’s care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, it was hailed as historic. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) could rightly feel satisfaction in an accomplishment that had eluded seven previous D.C. administrations. But now, two years later, that achievement may be at risk with what advocates say is an ill-conceived plan to discontinue a program that has been a critical pillar of the service system for this vulnerable population. 16 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
