From State Sen. Bob Cassilly:
Governor Larry Hogan is asking for your personal input regarding development of new directives on implementing State programs for our senior citizens living in Maryland. The Maryland Department of Aging has issued a draft plan that will be the foundation for new State designed programs and benefits to better serve and improve life for our Maryland senior citizens.
To ensure that the stakeholders are part of the process, The Maryland Department of Aging is providing multiple opportunities through town hall meetings, letters and emails, for you to comment on and contribute to the draft plan.
It is important for you to speak out about the issues, concerns and programs that significantly impact your life as a senior in Maryland. What is working for you, what is missing and what can be changed? Take part in the discussion, offer your suggestions and be a part of the process.
Ways to contact the Maryland Department of Aging are listed below.
