Absolutely wonderful advocy Marcus And your fundamental point about "holding

Dear Mr. Rodgers, Edward (LARA),



I am writing you today for the third time to request a copy of the contract 
between the Perkins School for the Blind and DSBP concerning obligations  in 
the "I Can Connect" program inwhich you alluded to in your comments on 
Saturday, October 19, 2013 at the NFBMI State Convention. The audio clip is 
attached for your recollection.



If I don't hear from you, I will assume that no contract exists. If this is 
the case, the information I received from Perkins is correct indicating the 
only support they provide is "some services in Michigan (database and 
equipment procurement)" and that is all.



Maybe the source of funds comes from subcontracted fund manager, RLSA of 
Pennsylvania or somewhere else.



This needs to be resolved immediately.

In any case, why hold the clients hostage. Maybe you should consider using 
some of the roll-over funds from last year to complete your obligation, 
therefore not tying up earmarked funds to replace the grant money, since 
this is a temporary situation and the funds will be restored shortly.



I expect to hear from you promptly on this matter.



Cordially,
Marcus Simmons - President
