The Arc of California and the United Cerebral Palsy Association of San Diego want to block a 4.25 percent cut in state reimbursement for services to people with mental or physical disabilities. The groups also want the U.S. District Court in Sacramento to prevent the state from furloughing such services 14 days a year and introducing a half-day billing definition.
"The whole system is just collapsing," said Tony Anderson, executive director of The Arc of California, a Sacramento-based nonprofit that represents and serves people with developmental disabilities.
