<P class=MsoNormal>Fellow Federationists:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I just got off the phone with Senator Dante Bartolomeo. She told me that she would remove guide dogs from SB 234.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Now, we can’t throw a party to celebrate just yet; the results are not in the books yet, but we are close to the point in time when we can celebrate. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>While I had her attention, and while she was so into helping people with disabilities, I thought I’d talk to her about something else, something on our wish list…</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>She also told me that she would be very interested in a state-level bill to end the unfair, discriminatory, and immoral practice of paying less than minimum wage to workers with disabilities in Connecticut. She and I will be planning a meeting with my local State Senator, Tony Guglielmo, a republican, so that we can start on both sides of the aisle. We are hoping to have that meeting in the fall. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Together, we are changing what it means to be blind.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Yours in Federationism,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
