So ridiculous in fact, that I got a little bit worked up sitting down to write this post. My original title was similar to many other news outlets’ stories: *** “New Hampshire Just Made It Illegal to Pay People with Disabilities Less than Minimum*** **Wage”**. Then I thought about it.

Our company was founded by two RIT grad students, much of our tech ops team has come out of RIT, and a couple of the folks in our Rochester office are actually still students there. It’s a phenomenal school and we’re incredibly proud of our affiliation(s). We’re also incredibly proud of Team P15010, a group of four engineering students in RIT’s senior design program. They’ve spent the better part of the last year building an awesome (and impressive) wheelchair swing for the [Arc of Monroe County](https://arcmonroe.org/).

The Minimum Wage in Florida has increased from $5.15 per hour in 2003 to $8.05 today.  Yet, Florida's iBudget Waiver reimbursement rates for the providers offering essential supports and services are on average **14.17% lower today than they were IN 2003!**  Forgive my bold font, but that's absurd!
