In the final days of the Utah Legislature’s 2006 session, Julius Steubing, 6, and his family are among more than 2,000 disabled Utahns still looking to Capitol Hill for help. During birth, Julius was deprived of oxygen which caused cerebral palsy and epilepsy.

Unfortunately for the family, the Legislature did not approve the $8.4 million addition to the budget this session.
