Senior services feel fiscal squeeze

A survey by USA TODAY found that 10 states have cut or expect to cut spending on senior services this year, 16 expect funding to stay the same and 24 states and the District of Columbia have increased funding — but even those raising their budgets are not keeping up with growth in the number of seniors. Increases are paying for rising costs of food and gas, not additional services.
