Colleagues,

Amonst other items please note the attached agenda of our so-called Statewide Rehab Council. They will be discussing the bogus employment first program.

Also note they are limiting by fiat public comment to three minutes, down from five minutes. This is supposed to be consumer driven and consumer controlled, but it is really controlled by MARO and the corrupted hacks in the Snyder Administration.

Regardless, this is a public meeting of a public body. Pass it on and let your voice be heard!
