Dear Doug Ford,

Because of shortage of funding from the Ministry of Children Community and Social Services two group homes belonging to Empower Simcoe are closing in Barrie and Orillia.

Causing the shutdown of programs helping people with disabilities transition to adult living.

Mr Ford where are your priorities I would rather see my hard-earned tax dollars go to the seniors, homeless and people with disabilities get the $225 million plus you are giving the Beer Store to break their contract then give it to big retail outlets.

For everything you give to the people you take away some other benefit you have given them. The LCBO workers are worried too about their jobs and full-time employment hence why they went on strike.

What next!

Donna Rice, Midland
