I think it more productive, since Chris told me he only supported vendors alas a single blind person that, I had to take over CT. legislative matters as well as D.C. we should all just concentrate on important matters. Beth

Hello:
 
        I wanted to let you know that we may still face a threat against the right of blind clients to operate concessions at state parks. I reported to you that on May 1st the legislature’s Finance Committee removed part of a bill that would undo the law giving blind business people first right to operate a concession at a state park facility.  However, the proposal has since been filed as an amendment to other bills still working their way through the process.  This is possible under legislative rules.  We cannot know ahead of time exactly when such an amendment will come up. People with blindness and their advocates who oppose this idea may still want to call your State Representative and State Senator to ask them to oppose the idea also.  Many of you have already alerted your legislator to this issue with your previous calls and e-mails. However, because of these efforts to revive the proposal, you may want to call or write again.
 
Below my signature, I have included telephone numbers that can be used to call your legislator at their Capitol office. Below these general phone numbers, you will see a link to the website of the legislature where you can find the e-mail address of every member.
 
As always, please feel free to call or write me with any questions.
