>> Dear Michigan Federationists:
>> House Bill 6006 allows for the modification of Public Act 260, in
>> order to exempt Legislative Buildings from the Randolph Sheppard
>> Program. I have previously predicted the deterioration of this
>> program. We have to try and stop this bill. The slippery slope of
>> deterioration of the Business Enterprise Program is exacerbated by the
>> deterioration of the Business Enterprise Program Administration. If
>> Legislative Buildings are exempted, then other buildings will soon
>> follow. A good livelihood for blind citizens will be in serious
>> jeopardy if this bill is not eliminated! The former and current
>> administrations do not seem to be willing to keep the primary goal of
>> employment for the blind as their utmost priority. The National
>> Federation of the Blind of Michigan will combat the passage of this
>> bill with all of our ability in the Legislature!
>> Sincerely,
>>
>> Larry Posont, President
