> Dear Michigan Federationists:
> House Bill 6006 allows for the modification of Public Act 260, in
> order to exempt Legislative Buildings from the Randolph Sheppard
> Program. I have previously predicted the deterioration of this
> program. We have to try and stop this bill. The slippery slope of
> deterioration of the Business Enterprise Program is exacerbated by the
> deterioration of the Business Enterprise Program Administration. If
> Legislative Buildings are exempted, then other buildings will soon
> follow. A good livelihood for blind citizens will be in serious
> jeopardy if this bill is not eliminated! The former and current
> administrations do not seem to be willing to keep the primary goal of
> employment for the blind as their utmost priority. The National
> Federation of the Blind of Michigan will combat the passage of this
> bill with all of our ability in the Legislature!
> Sincerely,
>
