Betsy DeVos, Education Secretary, testified in the House Tuesday of a proposed cut in the Special Olympics budget of nearly 18 million dollars cutting it down to nothing.

Kathy Meagher, President and CEO of Special Olympics ND was my special guest talking about that if this cut went through, how would it affect the program, especially in ND. 

Also she thought the estimated number of special athletes in the nationwide program was given at 272,000 which she thought was way too low...closer to one million.

A participation drive of volunteers and families to call their representatives to tell them to vote no on this is getting underway.
