To enact legislation that would provide more opportunities for people with special needs.

In the City of Laredo, and in others cities across the state, people with special needs are left with few options to pursue after they graduate or leave high school. With this in mind, the City of Laredo would like to encourage legislation that would create more opportunities for these individuals. Some options to consider are on-the-job training programs and/or grants to businesses who hire people with special needs. Indeed, providing more assistance to people in this area would help create a better quality of life for these individuals.
