[nabs-l] H.B. 2834: Closing the Door on the FutureofBlind Children

[sarah.jevnikar at utoronto.ca]

Hi all,
corruption is quite the charge. If they were taking the money they  
supposedly saved by shutting this school down and used it for their  
own personal use, that would be corrupt. This is just stupidity, not  
corruption.
Also, as I have said before, the government is only as strong or as  
weak as the electorate allows it to be. Raise hell if you're not  
happy; that is the only way they will be acountable to those who put  
them in office. And when election time comes, exercise your civil  
right of voting so that your concerns will be met. Involve yourself in  
a process which you wish to change; criticism without action is  
pointless. This is not a commentary on a particular person, but rather  
a societal one. People are often quick to complain about government  
but when it comes time to vote or pose questions, they are nowhere to  
be found.
Just some thoughts.
