[nfbmi-talk] House Bill 6006

[mary wurtzel]

Dear Fellow Federationists,
I realize that ranting and raving does no good!!! I just don't 
have anywhere else to go to express my utter sadness and 
abhorence for what is happening.  I feel as though everything we 
have accomplished inthe past 34 years or more is being 
dismantled.  I do feel anger, but I am one who feels sadness,  
too often along with it.
I have spoken with our rep and just want us to do whatever we 
can.
Inthe midst of this, we are moving Fred's mom's belongings into 
her apartment today.  We will move her there, tomorrow.  This is 
enough stress in itself for Fred.  We do ask for your continued 
prayers,   and have been grateful for your past   prayers.
Sincerely,
Mary Wurtzel

years?

>> 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,

>> Larry Posont, President
