[nfbmi-talk] all in violation

[Matt McCubbin]

Joe,
Thank you for sending this. You're absolutely correct, the documents on 
the page you referred to are image-based PDF's, which are completely 
inaccessible using screen-reading software.
The page is located at
http://www.michigan.gov/budget/0,1607,7-157-13406_13431---RSS,00.html
