[il-talk] Letters of Support: Repeal 14c

[Rob Kaiser]

I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but what about the Chicago 
Lighthouse for the Blind being that they seem to be the only lighthouse that 
pays its workshop workers minimum wage.

This is just a thought.

What about icb?     Equip  for equality? What about horizons  or Second 
Sense? Or what about progress Center for Independent living? Or any of the 
other independent living centers in Illinois? Just some ideas I'm throwing 
out.
