Aid program for disabled Arkansans that took priority for Hutchinson languishes under Sanders

One might think a state whose leaders tout a $655 million surplus could and would snap its collective fingers and find $50 million to clear a years-long waitlist for a program that helps those with severe mental and physical disabilities. But when that state is Arkansas, currently run by Gov. Sarah Sanders, it’s those long-suffering families who may soon snap. The program run by the Department of Human Services has an unassuming name: the Community and Employment Support Waiver.
