[Vendorsmi] Fw: Business Enterprise Program Being Given Away

[Joe Sontag]

Boy, I really heard, even if I don't know what the complaint is about or that the topic of my message should be as important to an EOC member as any personal conflict with the messenger.

What do you think?

Please believe me if we knew about this situation we, the EOC would of been craving attention to the situation. But you Joe Sontag on the other hand have meeting we aren't invited to attend and when you were on the board we got even less done because well you know that bias attitude that you have against certain people and or groups of people. But thanks for the heads up Joe I wish the NFB and the merchants would stop this NAME CALLING and this BETTER THAN attitude and actually, stop grinding the axe's,and working a personal agenda.

  If you've checked the bidline announcement recently, you may have
  noticed that the Anderson Building Cafeteria, AKA the State Plate is not among the
  listed facilities.  I have it from a credible source that Ed Rodgers, the new Director
  of the Bureau of Services for Blind Persons has ordered the facility removed from
  the bidline and has turned it over to the Michigan House of Representatives, saying
  that PA260 of 1978 does not apply.  Were any of you on the Elected Operators' Committee
  informed that anything like this was coming?  Why is the Committee not demanding answers and holding an emergency meeting for the purpose of finding facts and taking a stand for the Program and its licensees?  Do you not realize that the most profitable facilities on State property will be the first to be taken if the EOC and those who voted for them just sit on their hands and let  the State Plate be given away to the private sector?

  If you have factual knowledge about any of this, please share it with all of us who care
  about the BEP, as the future of the Program depends on it.  You can reach me by replying to this message.  If the State Plate is
  lost, can all of the remaining State facilities be far behind?  I won't reveal my
  source; and no, I'm not joking about any of this.
