Subject: [Nfbmt] Our Statement to Voc Rehab hearing tomorrow

Hello all,

Here are five statements the NFB of Montana will present at the Voc rehab
hearing tomorrow.  There will be a more comprehensive statement written up
to expand on these five points but this short version should come in handy
at the hearing!  If you cannot attend the hearing, feel free to submit these
statements in writing.

1. Thank you for continued support of the blind vendor's program in Montana

2. We request funding for NFB Newsline to enhance employability and to
provide easy access to Career Builder job listings

3. Work with us to develop more effective assistive technology training and
support for BLVS clients 4. The NFB of Montana applauds DET's efforts to
increase Extended Employment closures that are integrated and pay at least
minimum wage. 
However, we renew our call to end contracts with entities holding 14(c)
Certificates 5. The NFB of Montana strongly supports DET's request for an
additional
$100,000 in funding for the Older Blind program


I'll see you at the hearing!

James Aldrich
President
National Federation Of The Blind Of Montana
