 The Olmstead Plan took center stage on Monday night in Brainerd during a listening session about possible amendments to the act that helps meet the needs of those living with disabilities. People living with disabilities or people who work with people with disabilities all came out to provide input on how the plan can better serve those with disabilities. Concerns were put into categories and will be taken back to the state level sub-cabinet that will be tasked with making the amendments. All of the goals in the plan are measurable and time sensitive. So we are committed to looking at how we are accountable to those goals. Some of the goals are short term, some of the goals are longer term. It depends on what the goals are themselves so we can continue to look at them. The plan was the result of a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1999 that ruled it was unlawful to segregate people with disabilities from the greater community.
