It has been said that ninety percent of life is showing up. If the Board of the NFB MI is actually concerned about BSBP and other issues it might just show up at this meeting at least by teleconference and actually understand the utter corruption that we PWD face. By the way our Statewide Rehab Council is actually run by MARO and the sheltered workshop gangsters!
