Another DeWitt County resource has announced an end to their services due to the lack of the state budget.

PATH Senior Services, which provides various forms of assistance to local seniors, will end their services effective immediately in DeWitt, McLean and Livingston Counties. According to Executive Director of PATH, Karen Zangerle, this cut is going to impact a number of vital services for seniors. Because of this, PATH Senior Services at the DeWitt County Friendship Center will cease.

Like many organizations, the last year has been a real struggle to keep services intact. Zangerle indicates federal funds have gone away as well because of the state's incompetence.
