hi,

do we have a real picture of the possible votes?
a press release isn't worth much if his desire is over ridden.

  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  Gov. Nixon issues statement on meeting with leaders from Missouri Council of
  the Blind, National Federation of the Blind

   

  JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Gov. Jay Nixon today issued the following statement
  regarding his meeting with leaders from the Missouri Council of the Blind
  and the National Federation of the Blind:

   

  "For decades, Missouri has protected our efficient program to provide health
  care for the blind.  This program is carefully focused to help blind
  Missourians with the greatest need, and it is a lifeline for thousands of
  people.  This afternoon, I met with leaders from the Missouri Council of the
  Blind and the National Federation of the Blind to discuss how we can
  continue to work together to safeguard this efficient and vital program at
  its historic full funding level.  As Governor, I will continue to make the
  tough choices needed to balance our budget and hold the line on taxes.  But
  cutting health care for the blind simply isn't an option."
