In the Post Independent today ... Support disability funding with new license plate

Dear Editor: Next time you buy a car or renew your existing plates, please consider the new black specialty plate which supports people with disabilities by raising $12 million a year. Colorado offers retro black license plates with white lettering (a throwback to Colorado’s 1945 license plate design) as a specialty plate option. The $25 annual fee is specifically dedicated to the Colorado Disability Funding Committee which provides grants that support programs for people with disabilities. Half of the $12 million raised goes to help people with disabilities, like our participants at Mountain Valley Developmental Services, access the full range of benefits they may be eligible for like Medicaid, Social Security and Supplemental Security Income. The other half goes to innovation grants to improve people’s quality of life via the Colorado Disability Opportunity Office. Thank you! Sara Sims, Glenwood Springs
