[nfbmi-talk] Scholarship Announcement

[joe harcz Comcast]

Dear Larry and All,

One of the most positive moves that I've ever heard of in the State of 
Michigan is the Democrats proposing free in State tuition for Higher Ed for 
all!

For once maybe this will mean that MCB and MRS aren't just funding condiutes 
to pay for tuition while doing little or nothing else like maybe requiring 
that collleges are fully accessible in compliance with the ADA and 504 and 
otherwise only acting as a broker of funds.

Oh maybe with those saving then college folks who are blind might just get 
the Assistive Technology that would make them competitive.

Finally and again I appreciate these scholarshipnotices...But perhaps 
finally these merit based scholarships will be used once and for all what 
they are meant for....That is merit and not to bail out the entities that 
were supposed to do this and that in the first place!

Again this goes to why Christine was fired in her job in Pennyslyvania...You 
know for standing behind and for the law and all that?

If I sound angry with you or this notice or anything like that I am not!

I am danged dogged angry though at the corrupt system that continues.

Perhaps free college education for all in Michigan will weed out the 
garbage?

It was a plan of mine long time ago and still is.

I think this is something NFB MI can and should support, with the needs of 
course of blind folks considerred.

Sorry if a few hacks at MCB might lose their stupid jobs in processing 
payments that shouldn't be processed to begin with but so be it.

Joe
