Assemblyman Chris Holden (D) of Pasadena said recent budget victories for the developmentally disabled represent a big step, “but that there is more to do.”
With passage and signing of the first state budget under Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), Holden can point to his leadership in securing what grew to be $400 million for developmentally disabled service providers, as well as to having helped in the fields of speech pathology and music therapy.
