Hooray! I can't think of a better man for the job! It may take awhile, but
services in Montana are going to get much better.  Feel free to call me if
you have questions or need advice.

Subject: [rehab] Introduction

Hi All,

My name is Jim Marks, and I've recently switched careers from directing a
disability service program in higher education to directing Montana's voc
rehab/blind and low visions services.  First week on my new job, I had to
propose 10 percent cuts as our state struggles to live within its budget.
Montana is one of two states with a budget surplus, and it looks like our
state leaders want to keep us in the black by cutting costs.  The programs I
direct include more than VR and blindness rehab.  The job also includes SSA
disability determination, Medicaid Infra-structure Grant, Disability
Navigators, and the state's public transportation coordinator.  Some of you
know that I've been a Federationist for a long time.  Anyhow, I just wanted
to say, "Hi," and to let you know I'm subscribed to this listserv.

Best!
