Elimination of the Legal Services Corporation would cut $1.4 million from Neighborhood Legal Services, $607,000 from Laurel Legal Services and $416,00 from Southwestern Pennsylvania Legal Services. According to its website, the entire Legal Services Corporation has an annual budget of $375 million.

“It’s a great cause for concern,” said Sam Milkes, executive director of the Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network.

Renee Williams, executive director of Laurel Legal Services, said funds from the Legal Services Corporation represent about 40 percent of her organization’s budget, which serves Armstrong, Cambria, Clarion, Indiana, Jefferson and Westmoreland counties.
