Since it's in the blindness community's interest that this bill be thoroughly considered, it would be most fruitful for NFB members to determine if their state rep or senator (<a href="http://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/menu/CGAFindLeg.asp">find you legislators here</a>) is on the human services committee (<a href="http://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/menu/MemberList.asp?comm_code=HS">click here to find out</a>). Those of you whose legislator is on the committee would be well served to call him or her (please leave a message with staff; rest assured the boss'll get it) asking her or him to request that the bill be referred to the human services committee. This will get the bill off the floor and give you an opportunity to educate your legislator. <br>
