[Home-on-the-range] NFB Newsline

[Rob Tabor]

Tom, I couldn't have said it better myself! The major advantage of newsline over all audio information services anywhere include on-demand access, availability across multiple platforms, and the continuously expanding list local and national publications.

You will be pleased to learn, in addition to many other Kansans, that the Kansas NFB affiliate will be funding our newsline subscription for the next 6 months.
 However, this kind of funding model from treasury is not a wise or appropriate way to go over the long-term. In the upcoming 2016 Kansas this legislative session we will need to have some honest conversation with our legislators about coming up with  our official policy established at the 2015 state convention is to call upon the legislature to find news line through the Kansas Universal service fund. Tom, I speak honestly and saying that I believe you will be a tremendous asset in that endeavor. I hope I am not being too presumptuous and saying I look forward to rolling up our sleeves and working together to get the job done. 

Best regards,
Rob tabor first vice president NFB of Kansas ga stable source of funding.
