[CT-NFB] Channel 8 Interview: correction needed

[blindhands at aol.com]

I tried going back to Channel 8 to find the recording, but didn't find it.  Instead I found the printed version.  On the website:

CONNECTICUT (WTNH) — The August primary is less than two weeks away, and an absentee ballot bill is awaiting Governor Ned Lamont’s signature.

A segment of the voting public said they’re being deprived the right to a secret ballot. Those in the blind community said their voices are not being heard.

“We want to be treated like equal citizens,” said Maryanne Melley, Connecticut President of the American Federation of the Blind.


This is what it says on the website. They got the name wrong of the NFB.  Has anyone contacted them on this?

Maryanne,

You did an excellent job!  You clearly showed how we could vote accessibly and absentee.  And you educated the reporter well; she really seemed to get it.  I think this reporter is the political correspondent, so it was great that we got someone with that sort of high profile.

Very, very good job!

Nathanael

Maryanne, good job! I wish the fact that you’re president of NFB of CT had been mentioned, but you stated our position very well.
