[DSM-Iowa] Legislative Update

[bray at nfbi.org]

Greetings, In case you haven't heard it the Iowa Senate State Government
Committee has voted the reorganization bill out by a vote of 12 to 6. Some
of the members of the committee expressed concerns about some of it but
didn't change it. If you have any contacts with any State Senator, please
contact them and let them know how much these changes  will negatively
impact the blind of Iowa. 

 

In the House so far there has been no vote. We have been concentrating on
the subcommittee of the State Government Committee but now contacting the
rest of the State Government Committee is certainly in order. Here again,
contact your Representative even if they are not on the committee and make
your feelings known.

 

We have done a good job so far and we are going to need to keep the pressure
on in both houses. We can still win but it is not going to be easy. Ask your
friends, relatives and anyone that will listen to help out.

 

I do want to thank the number of you who have written emails and sent copies
of your email and the responses to me either on either of our lists or to me
directly.  If you haven't sent these to me yet I strongly encourage you to
do so. With this information we know better who in either house of the
legislature is likely to support us.

 

Keep up the good work. We can still win if we work together.

 

Bob

Legislative Chair, NFBI
