Brian Sandoval: $1.5M more for Meals-on-Wheels for seniors

I want to say a few words about what we're doing to aid our most valuable, and sometimes most vulnerable, citizens. My budget includes $11.5 million in new funding to expand the home and community based/frail elderly waiver, which helps seniors stay in their homes with quality care.

Also in my budget is $1.5 million in new funding for the successful Meals on Wheels program. Helping our senior citizens lead independent, meaningful and dignified lives needs to be a priority for all of us.
