[nfbmi-talk] Straight Stuff

[Mary Ann Robinson]

Larry, Christine and Joe, I couldn't agree more.  I pray that the commission 
board will begin to see the light soon!  Blind people in this state deserve 
to be treated with dignity and respect and they need to begin receiving 
quality services now

How many more students will be frustrated?  How many more jobs will be lost? 
How long will the abominable unjust treatment of competent blind staff  and 
consumers continue?  How many more thousands of dollars will be spent on 
grievances, hearings and arbitration cases in the BEP before the commission 
board takes steps to clean house at the commission and replace incompetent 
and unqualified staff with employees who will provide blind staff and 
operators with the respect, services, support and assistance they deserve?

Mary Ann Robinson !
