Victory for Vulnerable Seniors
If you’ve been really lucky (or if you’re still unbearably young), it’s hard to imagine being 82, living alone and relying on the community for lunch, a place to go, a legal opinion, or a ride to the grocery store. Still, thousands of Colorado seniors count on local agencies for such services and Rep. Jim Riesberg’s made their lives just a bit sweeter.
HB 1018, signed by the governor on May 17, increases funding to the Older Coloradans Cash Fund and goes into effect on July 1. And whether you’re a senior, or some day plan to be, you can thank Rep. Jim Riesberg of Greeley.
