[Tall-Corn] Legislative Monthly Get Together

[bray at nfbi.org]

Greetings Fellow Federationists,

 

Last month when we met on the 25th we discussed the fact that the
Legislature had pretty much done all they were going to do for this year on
anything that wasn't budget or appointments. Since then they have finished
those tasks up with no fanfare and are happily back away from the
Statehouse. As far as we know the only Director Appointment that went
without opposition in the Senate was the appointment of Emily to continue as
Director of the Department For The Blind. 

 

Please keep watching here on the Tall-Corn list to see new developments for
next year. In the meantime, please, get to know your Legislators,
Representative and Senator, and talk with them about who the NFBI is and
about our need for accessible Prescription Labelling, more accessible
voting, and the need to update the Braille bill, for teaching of Braille and
technology to blind students. 

 

We will be sending out updates from time to time to keep you up-to-date on
what is happening.
