By a vote of 18-16 the Missouri State Senate voted to add $8.6 million to 
the Senate budget previously  allocated  $18million  budget for the Blind 
Health Care program virtually leaving the funding for the program as is.This 
a great victory for blind people in this state.
One more hill to climb and that is theconference committee. The Senate 
version needs to stand up there. An advantage of the budget bill being 
essentially done   is now the General Assembly can take up other actions 
like Help Missouri Vote Act.
