[Nfb-idaho] URGENT! URGENT! URGENT! URGENT!

[Elsie Lamp]

Hello everyone,
 
I just got this and it is EXTREMELY urgent that you call the people on the attachments and get everyone you know to do so as well. They are attempting to put the Idaho Commission for the Blind under the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) again. It will not save the state money and we have been down this road before and it could DRAMATICALLY affect the services we receive. Michael Graham continues to work until the end of June and is involved in this blatant attempt to curtail services for Idaho's blind citizens.

Here is legislation to be heard proposed by Rep. Jaquet last week.  It has to go through many steps but it will be heard on in the human resource and commerce committee at 1:30 tomorrow. I will follow up this email with a list of contacts for the committee.
