Harrisburg , PA 17101
Dear Governor,
Sir, as an educator and CEO of a small non-profit organization specializing in mentoring and non-traditional sports such as fencing and rugby located in Philadelphia, I am deeply concerned about the possible massive budget cuts that could be inflicted on social services such as:
• After School Programs
• Mentoring Programs
• GED Programs
• Physical Disabilities/Behavioral Health Programs
• Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Programs
• Senior Citizens Programs
In addition, Governor Corbett, I believe cutting funding from the Philadelphia School District would have catastrophic consequences in the communities, on the students, teachers, and some of the administrators who have dedicated their lives to providing youth and adolescents with a fundamentally effective education to become innovative leaders locally, nationally, and globally.
Sir, I know that these are perilous economic times in Pennsylvania and that tough and unpleasant decisions will have to be made to balance the state's budget. But I implore you to protect, maintain, and allow those of us in the field of social services to continue to cultivate these services so they can blossom and extend to everyone in need.
Respectfully,
Anthony P. Johnson, Founder
