The Commission for the Blind will have our budget hearing before the House
Appropriations and Finance Committee (HAFC) on Tuesday, January 28. The
hearing will start at 1:30 PM, and it will be before HAFC Subcommittee B.
It is scheduled in Room 309. The hearing will be at the Roundhouse. We will
be on a docket with other agencies, so it is difficult to know when the
Commission’s budget will actually be heard. We should have a better idea on
Monday, and I will send out an update.



The Governor recommended a 13.6% increase in our budget, but the
Legislative Finance Committee (LFC) is only recommending a 3.6% increase.
All are welcome to attend, and a strong showing helps to demonstrate public
support.



Thanks,
