<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been informed that BSBP intends to grant
hearings to BEP licensees only if they can cite a specific promulgated rule that
has not been followed. The BEP tried to make that a requirement back in
1995, but it was rejected by the legal types outside of MCB.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you've checked the bidline announcement at
the time of this writing, 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?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you have factual knowledge about this,
please share it with all of us who care about the BEP, as the future of the
Program depends on it. 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.</FONT></DIV>
