Down Syndrome
People in the Down syndrome community are celebrating a piece of the state budget.
Rep. 3ohn Bradford, R-Mecklenburg, noticed no money was allocated to helping Down syndrome
families or organizations, so he pushed to change that. GiGi's Playhouse in Raleigh learned
Tuesday it will receive $400,000 in state funding to expand programs that help infants and adults
with Down syndrome. The money will go toward expanding programs that promote literacy and
job training.
"Our goal of GiGi's Playhouse is really to change the perception of Down syndrome. They just want
to be a part of society and so, if we can be a part of that and help them get to that point, that
would be tremendoussaid GiGi's Playhouse President 3eanhee Hoffman. After just a year in
operation, GiGi's Playhouse said they've seen major changes in people who participate, including a
54-year-old man who has begun to read for the first time in his life.(WRAL NEWS, 6/27/17).
Human Trafficking
It was with a lot of fanfare that North Carolina lawmakers unveiled a bill last month to allocate up
to $50 million to help the victims of human trafficking. Sponsored by a top Mecklenburg County
lawmaker and the top House budget writer, the measure had 48 co-sponsors -- nearly half the
House. The General Assembly's final $23 billion budget calls for posting public awareness signs at
hospitals and other public sites, but no money to provide services for trafficking victims.
frustratingsaid Lanie George, who runs a shelter for trafficking victims in Cabarrus County.
"We're communicating to our women that they're not valuable enough for us to provide for their
healing needs."
House Bill 910 was sponsored by representatives Bill Brawley, R-Mecklenburg, and Nelson Dollar,
R-Wake. Brawley chairs the Finance Committee; Dollar leads the House budget committee.
Victim advocates call human trafficking modern-day slavery. Brawley's bill would have allocated
$37.5 million for shelter beds, $13.5 million for mental health services, and $4.5 million to
educate students on the warning signs for trafficking. Providing a bed and services can cost up to
$40,000 a year for each victim. Mental health services could cost another $15,000, experts say.
George, whose suburban shelter now has four women staying there, said she had to turn away
three others last week for lack of money.
According to the anti -trafficking Polaris Project, more than 8,000 trafficking cases were reported
nationwide in 2016 -- 35 percent more than a year before. In North Carolina, 181 cases were
called in to the National Human Trafficking Hotline last year, up from 112.
Tammy Harris, a board member of the Cabarrus shelter, called the lack of funding "disheartening.'
She'd gone to Raleigh with Anderson for the announcement of the House bill. She said a lawmaker
later told her why he thought the funding request wasn't going anywhere. "This is not an issue
that people vote on," she recalled him saying. "And while it's important to people, it's not going to
get representatives re-elected."(3im Morrill, THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 6/27/17).
Reynolds Suit
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear an age -discrimination lawsuit filed against R.3.
Reynolds Tobacco Co. The decision, released Monday, involves Richard Villarreal, who sued
Reynolds and two job -search groups in his attempt to gain work as a territory manager.
In October, the full Eleventh Appeals Court ruled that an applicant, in this case Villarreal, could not
sue an employer for "disparate" impact because an applicant "has no status as an employee."
