Subject: Important Message from Legislative Committee member Sharon Fields


The message below is from SRC Legislative Committee member Sharon Fields.



Dear Fellow SRC Member,

I wanted you to know that the budget bill, House Bill 265, is still under
consideration.  I ask that you keep actively supporting the addition of
funds for the Office for the Blind. Time is getting short and it is
necessary to keep the pressure on if we want to get additional funding.

Below is a list of members of the conference committee for HB 265.  If every
Council member could contact each committee member, it may make a difference
in the agency's funding.  Please join me in lobbying for support for the
blind and visually impaired of the Commonwealth, before it's too late.
