Demonstrators Want State To Restore In-Home Services, Meds
MEDFORD, OR, April 21, 2004 -- About 100 protesters marched downtown to the Disabled Services Office Tuesday, to demand that state officials restore in-home services and medicines to about 1,700 people in the area who lost them in February of last year.
The demonstrators were also drawing attention to the fact that services are now being reduced for more people because new guidelines are making it more difficult to qualify for supports.
