<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I point to the following quote
from the BEP Report in the most recent MCB Report:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“<SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">During the temporary closing of the
House of Representatives cafeteria, much has been accomplished to the physical
facility, as noted in the March report.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The operator selection process commenced as recommended by the Committee
and as approved by the Board.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>However, based on informal guidance from the Assistant Attorney General
with whom M C B works, the process has been halted.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The informal guidance cautions M C B
about the use of an alternate, even if temporary, bidding process and the
guidance is currently under review.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Now, I and several others
including terry Eagle and David Robinson informed the Board, the agency and the
EOC that the abrogation of promulgated<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>rules exceeded the legal authority of the MCB Board, the EOC, and the
agency. Now, we’ve plowed untold monies into the House of Reps facility and it
is still not occupied by a blind person mandated by Public Act 260. This is
clearly outrageous but can be resolved simply at the July 15, 2012 meeting by a
simple motion and vote to rescind the vote of February 8, 2012. Then we simply
must demand the agency follows existing rules relative to that mandated
facility.</P>
