<p class="MsoNormal">Did anyone else here watch the subminimum wage hearing? It was awesome! Anil Lewis did a wonderful job representing the National Federation of the Blind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Connecticut’s own Congresswoman Jahana Hayes did a great job using her opportunity for questioning to pull out supportive points for our side. This told me that Federationists in Connecticut have done a great job working with the Congresswoman
from the 5<sup>th</sup> district to build a strong ally in her. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you haven’t seen the hearing, here’s a link to where you can watch it on YouTube. It’s about 2 hours and 39 minutes long, but it’s so worth watching.
