Archdiocesan news briefs

Funding cut

Three Missouri House Democrats are asking the state not to request a federal waiver from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to cut in-home and nursing care services for the elderly and disabled. Approximately 8,300 seniors and disabled will be affected. In May, the legislature passed a bill to restore funding by allowing the state's administration commissioner to take up to $35.4 million from unspent money in dedicated funds in order to maintain the current level of funding. But Gov. Eric Greitens vetoed the measure in June. The Missouri Catholic Conference reports that lawmakers have a chance at overriding the governor in September, but it's unclear if there is enough support should it come to a vote.
