MC BDD CUTS 

IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, AN AGENCY THAT SERVES THE PUBLIC IS BEING FORCED TO MAKE CHANGES. 
THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY BOARD OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WILL DISCONTINUE PROGRAMS, ELIMINATE 62 FULL-TIME JOBS AND CUT ITS 2025 BUDGET BY $8.9 MILLION DOLLARS. SUPERINTENDENT PAMELA COMBS TOLD THE DAYTON DAILY NEWS THAT THE AGENCY WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ALL MANDATED SERVICES. THE MOVES ARE PART OF A BUDGET BALANCING EXERCISE AMID INCREASED OPERATIONAL COSTS AND REVENUE LOSSES FROM VARIOUS PROGRAMS AND SOURCES. THE AGENCY HAS A HISTORY OF OVER-SPENDING AND RELYING ON COUNTY AND FEDERAL FUNDS TO AVOID DEFICITS.
