Last week, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Harris v. Quinn.  A negative ruling threatens to undo a system that allows people with disabilities to hire and fire their personal assistants while the State handles administrative responsibilities. The decision also threatens collective bargaining. I urge the court to affirm the decision and the independence of 30,000 people with disabilities.
