facts surrounding Risa getting the Howell facility in the first place, so I
cannot comment on that situation, except to say that assuming what you say is
true, it exactly makes my earlier point about rules not being followed, and
the simple fact that someone is ultimately going to get trampled and injured,

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">It is, in my
opinion, the failure of blind licensees to not prosecute valid claims of rule
violations that has created a culture and environment within the BEP which has
fostered an attitude by BEP management and a few select licensee, for personal
reasons alone, simply sit back on their hands and allow the illegal and
unethical actions to occur, and gibing the violators an attitude that they can
repeat such biolations over and over because the know that are likely not to
be challenged by the blind, as was apparently true in your case of not being
awarded Howell.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Bill, truly the
answer to addressing corruption is not to turn one’s head as if to not see the
corruption, but rather to face head-on and stare down the evil one
witnesses. To sit back and pretend to believe that failure to confront
and address the corruption and evil, believing it is noble to not defend one’s
rights for the good or sake of anotheris simplyfurther promotes future evil
acts by the original wrong-doer, ultimately injuring a much longer list of
individuals in the future. That is the ultimate result when a seemingly
noble act of not appropriately acting does to advance corruption and
evil.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Bill, over the
years, I have seen many intelligent, morally upright, well-intentioned blind
person come and go from the BEP operator “active participation” scene.
In my opinion and observation, the vast majority exit the scene believing that
they as an individual cannot have or make a positive impact on that which is
corrupt or evil. A fewer number decide to “go-along-to get-along”, because
they relize the “price” or “cost” to them and their future materialism is much
too expensive for doing that which is right and just. The individuals
have witnessed not only the corruption and evil, they also have either seen
and/or experienced the further corruption and evil associated with retaliation
and retribution for the courageto stand up for what is right and just, and
stand firm against corruption and evil. Then there are a much smaller
group of individuals I call the “sell-outs”, or as they are likely to define
themselves as the “opportunity seekers”. These are the ones that believe
that “survival of the fittest” or “eat-others-before-you get-eaten”, is the
only method of survival in the daily jungle of life, for after all, it truly
is a jungle out there in business, and one certainly must fend for one’s self,
if one is to get-ahead and survive, they truly believe. This minority in
any organization tends to cozy up to the leader of the pack, knowing that
there is strength in numbers, and that sticking together one can truly
survive. It is the attitude of rugged individualism, “what’s in it for
me”, and “I’ve got your back, and you’ve got my back, and the “rules are there
for others to follow, but not me” system of operation. In their
jungle-environment mind, it is not in their best interest to act in the best
interest of the entire jungle inhabitants. Each and every one in the
pack prowl the intense jungle to capture that which will fulfill their
personal needs, of course at the cost of the less connected and astute members
of the community. Then, as I once heard it described by one blind
individual, the individual pack members drag their captured bounty back to
their cave, disappearing and not being seen, as they savor the pleasure of
their rugged individualism andhedonism, while doing the most minimal to
preserve and protect that which they have gained, at a huge cost to the entire
organization. There is no longer any reason to stick around for the
good, right and just benefit of the majority of the members of the
organization.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Finally, there are
an even more tiny minority that get involved, stay involved, and confront and
stare down corruption and evil at any personal cost, simply and authentically
because it is the only noble, moral, right and just approach and action to
take. I can think of a few blind persons, formerly employed within the
BEP that fit within this tiny minority of blind persons willing to act on
behalf of all blind individuals, despite the cost personally. .

upon on behalf of the “PETITIONER” in the case No.: 2009-1705, and as
the representative in that case, and I don’t recall Marlene Rothenhauser being
neither the “PETITIONER”, nor the licensee with whom I have a valid
representative agreement in that case. You clearly must have confused
the case of which you reference and the case in which I represented Ms.
Rothenhauser’s brother, Mr. Mark Rothenhauser. I simply point out your
confusion so that you are aware that Ms. Rothenhauser was not a “PARTY” to
Case No. 2009-1705, therefore, Ms. Rothenhauser has no legal “STANDING”, with
relation to the MCB Board’s final agency decision and resulting benefit to
Mrs. Patrick-Langtry.</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN

agree that there is, as you say, “cheating” going on, but it certainly is not

ongoing is on the part of the BEP management, mostly with their practice of
favoritism for certain individuals, and discriminationagainst other
individuals. In reality, there is another more suddle form of “cheating”
going on by the illegal, favoritism, and, discriminatory acts of the BEP
management, and that “cheating” is in the form of ALL licensees and blind
individuals being “cheated” of a high quality business income-producing
program. Therfore, your placement of “cheating” is misplaced,

know everyone is very interested in the ruling involving the howell rest
area at the recent Commission board meeting. First off I would like
to inform everyone that Marlene Rotherhauser has asked me to be her
representative in this matter so please forward any relevant
information on this case to me. Secondly I would personally like
to thank Risa for her interest in and dedication to our
program. And third but not least since the ruling by an
administrative law judge was upheld by the Commission Board
clearly states that the Okomas vending route should be added to the
howell/Novi vending route. And since Marlene Rothenhousre is the
current operator that is licensed by the state of <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Michigan</st1:State></st1:place> to operate the
howell rest areas, we would like to know when the Okomas route will be added
to her howell rest area? </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma

As I said earlier i would like thank Risa for her dedication to this site and
for her continuing to fight for it even after she voluntarily gave
up the license to operate it. Risa should be commended
for her relentless fight to help marlene make the site a economic
success. To give up her own location to help another operator is totally
commendable. But all thanks aside when can we expect this to be signed
over to Marlene? We hope it can be done as quickly as
possible so Marlene can take advantage of the short summer
season. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN

Risa voluntarily gave up her license to operate howell/novi rest she ,gave up
all rights to that location including any that are being added now.
<U>The grievance that was filed was filed on behalf of the location not the
individual operator</U>, Risa personally did not win anything, the operator
that is currently being licensed by the state of <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">michigan</st1:State></st1:place>
to operate that howell faculty won!!!!! Ask Fred he
knows!! What happens to Risa? we really do not care, as it is very
clear she was willing to hurt and destroy anyone as long as she got
hers. If she believed in her case that much she should have never left
howell and waited for Okamos to be delivered to her. But of course she
choose to be greedy and try to get the biggest piece of the pie before it was
officially served. Shame on her and anyone else involved in this.
It is greed and thoughtless actions like this that are bringing
unwanted negative attention to our program. I hope this serves as a
lesson to all who what to try and cheat their way in life, be careful what you
wish for, you might get it. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN

Marlene Rothenhouser is legally licensed by the state of
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Michigan</st1:State></st1:place> to
operate the BEP faculty located at the Howell/Novi rest
areas. She is in compliance and in good standing with
the <st1:place w:st="on">SLA</st1:place>. There is absolutely no reason
or no way for her license to be revoked. No where in the propagated
rules dose it say that an operator can be removed from a facility in
order to give that facility to another operator. Again Marlene is
in good standing with the <st1:place w:st="on">SLA</st1:place> and has done
nothing wrong, she has fallowed all the rules and promoted into this
location legally a year and a half ago. There is no reason to
penalize her or revoke her license, she has done absolutely nothing
wrong and will fight to the bitter end to save job her job and her
home. This decision is a complete violation of our propagated
rules and will not hold water when all sides are heard and given a chance to
speak. I might add that marlene has never given testimony and never been
given a chance to speak on this. This has all been done behind closed
doors and in secret!!!</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN
