Dear Mr. Harcz, Jr.:
This letter is in response to your January 6, 2012, email request for copies of public records, received on January 9, 2012. Please be informed that the Department’s Michigan Commission for the Blind (MCB) is processing this request under the state’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), MCL 15.231 et seq.
You have requested information as described in your email, a copy of which is below.
Your request is granted as to existing, nonexempt records in the possession of this department responsive to your request.

Dear Mr. Cannon and Commissioners,
I am writing today to ask some questions and to get some detailed financial breakdowns relative to the following LARA expenditures
Found on DTMB transparency web site at:
http://apps.michigan.gov/MiTransparency/Vendor/Agencies?y=2012&v=NEW%20HORIZONS%20REHABILITATION%20SERVICES&Column=AgencyName&Direction=Ascending
“Payments to NEW HORIZONS REHABILITATION SERVICES for fiscal year 2012

Agency Name
Payment Totals
LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS
$194,725.38”
Note these are expenditures denoted in this current State of Michigan Fiscal Year alone and I’ll send a separate request for detailed accounting of MCB expenditures made in FY 2011 and FY 2010 which anyone in the public has the absolute right to and which should be sent to commissioners routinely as well.
Regardless I wish for you to break out the numbers for MCB payments made to New Horizons for I realize some of these expenditures are related to the Michigan Rehabilitation Services. And I wish to know what they are for.
In other words send me the data related to job development, job shadowing, transition services, vocational assessments and the like made with this Community Rehabilitation Program and send me the authorizations of same.
Do not tell me that you or MCB cannot do this and don’t throw a FOIA [petard at me either. Your comments made to Commissioners relative to not being able to produce such data as this and even intakes, closures, etc. displays your arrogant disregard for your fiduciary obligations and your stark and utter violations of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended, PA 260 and basic principles of transparency let alone basic notions of competence of a GS-19 making $125,000 per year and directing this critical State agency.
I, also wish for this information in fully accessible format pursuant to obligations under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (Title II, subpart e, communications) as I am indeed blind. To wit send the requested information is either Word attachments or plain text enclosures to my e-mail address listed above. And again I suggest that you ensure such information is made routinely available on MCB’s own web site in html form.
Cordially,
Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
