[Nfb-or] Letter to Senators about the School for the Blind andHouse Bill 2834

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Joseph,

You go, guy!  I'm still struggling over my letters because I get too
emotional and snarly.  I like the idea of going straight to press.  All the
better.

Lin,

I am also composing letters, but mine are directed to the media.  In 
them, I list the names of those representatives who think it is 
acceptable to steal from blind children.  Their names are part of the 
public record, but they are about to get a lot more public.

I've also got some estimates about just how much more of our money 
our esteemed legislature will spend closing the school--it's not 
pretty.  That's not even counting the lost federal matching funds 
through the Oregon Commission for the Blind or the inevitable 
lawsuits that several parents will file as soon as this clears the 
senate.

Oregon's going to spend more trying to replace services and fighting 
lawsuits as a result of closing the School for the Blind than they're 
going to get from selling the property.  They deserve it too, after 
the stunt with the last amendment and denial of public comment.

Joseph
