<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I truly do not know who this
"mole" is, so it will do Mr. Cannon no good to slander and defame me in front of
witnesses as he has done in the past, but I agree with and support fully the
statements and motions contained in the mole's message below.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Remember what happened the last time we found
ourselves with a major government facility vacant in late 2009? The
Fountain View facility in Detroit was turned over on a temporary basis to a
private contractor, even as the Elected Operators Committee was told that
nothing would be done until the EOC had been provided with the full
details and had given its response. In other words, the Committee and the
operators as a group had been lied to by BEP administration. If you really
care about the future of the BEP and do not wish to see it destroyed, then
please share this message as you see fit.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

me,</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>As a former employee of the Michigan Commission for the Blind, I have
worked closely with the central office staff on a routine basis while executing
my duties of that position. During my tenure with the Commission, I saw the many
negative decisions made regarding blind citizens of Michigan. Unfortunately, I
have once again come to be appalled by the decisions made against the blind by a
commission titled “for the Blind”. Most recently, I have become aware of a
possible policy shift that undermines the EOC, BEP, MCB and the blind of
Michigan. I am referring to the EOC Special meeting that is scheduled to be held
on January 14, 2012<SUP> </SUP>regarding the State Plate Cafeteria. </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>If the EOC moves to contract out the State Plate to the private sector
they will not only eliminate many jobs for the blind, but they will also set a
dangerous precedent in the appearance of the EOC Chair along with EOC members,
ALL MCB commissioners and agency staff allowing for unqualified sighted persons
being placed above blind qualified persons which I am sure is not the intended
view. This brings me to my next point within this highly controversial
correspondence. The only sensible solution to the State Plate Cafeteria matter
is to put a highly qualified blind operator into this location. </FONT></P>

at the January 14<SUP>th</SUP> 2012 meeting.</FONT></P>

a permanent operator and to award him the State Plate

size=3>In closing, I highly recommend the acceptance of the above mentioned
motions in order to follow by the mission statement of the commission and truly
be the Michigan Commission “for the Blind” and not viewed as the commission
against the Blind by unruly allowing this very profitable location to be
contracted out to the private sector or other unqualified or under qualified
individuals.</FONT></P>
