"The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
Blindness is not what holds you back."

Anyone following Idaho Senate Bill 1075, it past the health and welfare
committee and was read on the floor of the sun it twice. Yesterday, in the
third reading, it was moved to the 14th order for amendment.
Sponsor of the bill, Abby Lee, chose to amend the definition of individual
with disability slightly, adding a specific date to the referenced Americans
with disabilities act definition.
This move came in response to a negative to reading from the Idaho freedom
organization, which is a strong federalist group.
The 14th order of the senates convenience tomorrow, the amendment will be
made, and it should return to the Senate floor for a reading on Friday.
