The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
The “LegeLand” story in the Jan. 28 issue, “Child Advocates Seek Reforms,” reported that the Prevention and Early Intervention Division of the state Department of Family and Protective Services would lose 84% of its budget. That was the original legislative appropriations request from the Department of Family and Protective Services; the House is currently considering a 55% reduction.
