[nfbmi-talk] sigh, just smoke and mirrors

[Terry D. Eagle]

It would be interesting to learn who are the persons appointed to the
advisory council, however I am not willing or able to pay the FOIA
administration FOIA extortion fee to receive that advisory council
information.

Gov Snyder renames division for Deaf Awareness Week Gov. Rick Snyder has
signed an executive order renaming a Michigan government division to
encompass

all members of the deaf community. Snyder approved the order Wednesday
during Deaf Awareness Week. It updates the names of a state Department of
Civil

Rights division and an advisory council to include the word "deafblind. The
department's Division on Deaf, Deafblind and Hard of Hearing works to ensure

members of the deaf community have access to secure and effective
communication methods. It also facilitates the use of interpreters and
assistive listening

devices for conversations with the state. The advisory council includes 13
members appointed by the governor who give recommendations and guidance to
the

department. Seven of its members are deaf, deafblind or hard of hearing.
