[Greater-baltimore] Good News from Annapolis

[nfbmd]

Hello, all.

Many thanks to everyone who attended hearings, wrote letters, made phone 
calls, and visited with delegates and senators. Our hard work paid off. The 
rights of blind parents and caregivers in custody, adoption, and CINA cases 
will be protected because the Maryland General Assembly passed HB 689 and SB 
613. We are one step closer to solving the quiet car problem because the 
Maryland General Assembly extended the Quiet Vehicle and Pedestrian Safety 
Task Force to December 31, 2010.  We look forward to the future 
recommendations of this task force. Now we must wait for the governor's 
signature for these bills to be come the laws of Maryland.

Congratulations to us. We are changing what it means to be blind in 
Maryland.
