Nonprofits rally to be spared from further state budget cuts | The Connecticut Mirror

Nonprofits rally to be spared from further state budget cuts | The Connecticut Mirror: Hundreds of workers, administrators and clients from Connecticut's private, nonprofit social service agencies rallied Wednesday outside the Capitol, urging officials to restore budget cuts and preserve services for poor and disabled residents.
