Dear Editor,According to information I recently received, the president’s proposed budget will eliminate the funding to the Senior Companion and Foster Grandparent programs sponsored by Fort Hays State University. The Senior Companion Program has been in Western Kansas since 1974 and the Foster Grandparent program will celebrate 20 years in June. The budget for all Corporation for National and Community Service-sponsored programs in the United States is .039 percent of the federal budget.
