LillyPAC was established to work to ensure that this vision is also shared by lawmakers, who make policy decisions that impact our company and the patients we serve. In a new political environment where policies can change with a “tweet,” we must be even more vigilant about supporting those who believe in our story, and our PAC is an effective way to support those who share our views. We also want to ensure that you know the story of LillyPAC. Transparency is an important element of our integrity promise, and so we are pleased to share this 2016 LillyPAC annual report with you. LillyPAC raised $949,267 through the generous, voluntary contributions of 3,682 Lilly employees in 2016. Those contributions allowed LillyPAC to invest in 187 federal candidates and more than 500 state candidates who understand the importance of what we do. You will find a full financial accounting in the following pages, as well as complete lists of candidates and political committees that received LillyPAC support and the permissible corporate contributions made by the company. In addition, this report is a helpful guide to understanding how our PAC operates and makes its contribution decisions.

Box 94004 Baton Rouge, LA 70804-9004 Dear Governor Edwards: I am pleased to submit to you the enclosed Annual Report from the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana dated March 1, 2017. Submission of this report is a requirement of Act No. 679 and sums up “actions taken and progress made toward achieving the purposes and duties established for the council.” Respectfully, William Arceneaux, Ph.D. President Cc: President John A.

The most recent board meeting was held December 10, 2016. Budget CODOFIL’s Existing Operating Budget for FY16 was $609,286 ((maximum budget authority for collecting/spending funds) - not actual funding. Staff The CODOFIL staff is currently comprised of 5 people: a full-time executive director, a full-time communications director, a full-time education program consultant, a full-time cultural program coordinator, and a full-time administrative coordinator. This staffing level is adequate to address the agency’s mandates but may be in need of extra human resources to better fulfill CODOFIL’s mandates. Office relocation CODOFIL continues to rent temporary office space at Lafayette City-Parish government’s International Center. Renovation is underway at the former headquarters of CODOFIL at 217 West Main Street in Lafayette. Projected return to the old office is early 2018.

    Action Alert #13 Contact Appropriations Committee and Attend Public Testimony Day for Funding of DD Services

    Action Alert #13 Contact Appropriations Committee and Attend Public Testimony Day for Funding of DD Services April 6, 2017 The House Appropriations Committee needs to hear from you on the importance of funding waiver slots! The Appropriations Sub-Committee on Health and Human Services met yesterday to discuss the LA Department of Health's (LDH) budget and there was very little mention of the 15,000 people on the waiting list or the urgency of their needs. Filling waiver slots is not even on the top of LDH's priority list if additional revenue is identified- it's sixth!! The Appropriations Committee will meet on Tuesday, April 18th to hear public testimony on the proposed Fiscal Year 2018 State Budget (HB1). Several LaCAN members will represent our group by testifying before the committee. If you believe funding should be added to fill vacant waiver slots, enhance the waiver rate to serve people with complex and challenging needs, provide more equitable funding to the Human Services Districts/Authorities, and restore funding to EarlySteps, NOW is the time to take action!! How To Take Action Contact the Chairperson of the Appropriations Committee and Members from your region before April 18th.

    ACTION ALERT #13 - Contact Appropriations to Support DD Services

    ACTION ALERT #13 - Contact Appropriations to Support DD Services Louisiana's budget shortfall for Fiscal Year 2017 (FY17) is now estimated at $600 Million -- 20 percent lower than previously thought. The House Appropriations Committee has yet to pass the State Budget for FY17 and will have the opportunity to decide where to restore this additional $150 Million before moving it on to the Full House. The current version of the proposed FY17 State Budget still includes: Cuts to the Human Services Districts/Authorities (in addition to the cuts they received this fiscal year) impacting Individual and Family Support, Flexible Family Fund, and other vital services to people with developmental disabilities and those with behavioral health needs. A 34% cut to the Families Helping Families Centers (this funding is in the DD Council's budget). $170,000 is needed to restore the cuts. A 20% cut to Louisiana Rehabilitation Services (LRS). No funds to cover the cost of overtime for Direct Support Workers. No funds to fill vacant Children's Choice and Supports Waiver slots. Although many of you have already contacted committee members, this newly identified funding creates a new opportunity to advocate. If you would like to see some of this funding used to restore the cuts mentioned above, now is the time to take action! Contact the Chairman and Committee members in your region by Monday, May 9th, and let them know that funding DD services should be a top priority when deciding where to restore this $150 Million.
