[Nebraska-senior-blind] Good News for Seniors getting services in Nebraska

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Hi You All

 

Below is the text from a message that Carlos Servan just posted to those who
helped with NCBVI Getting more funding for the older blind. 

 

Good morning staff and commissioners:

 

I would like to share some good news that is much needed at our agency.  The
Appropriations Committee has recommended our budget increase for the Older
Blind services in its totality.  The committee also recommended the increase
to cover the salaries and benefits that was not cover by the Federal grant.
This recommendation still needs to go to the floor of the Unicameral and
then sign by the Governor.  Normally both the unicameral floor and the
Governor support the Appropriations Committee recommendation unless there is
a big controversy.  We are a small agency and there should not be any
controversies.

 

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you for the great job you do
making a big difference in the life of blind Nebraskans.  Several former
clients came to testify and their life stories was genuine and sincere
reflecting the quality services we provide.  

 

Thank you for all your hard work, dedication, passion, support to each
other, and understanding.
