[nfbwatlk] FW: [Wcb-l] legislative alert

[Mike Freeman]

Nothing yet. I'll do more sluething tomorrow. My hunch is that we're 
panicking a bit early. Understandable but perhaps not necessary yet.

Hi, Mike,

We haven't heard anything from WTBBLIND about this which surprises me.

What have you found out?

I'll check with the Office of the Secretary of State tomorrow and see
how panicked people over there are and if they are, what they actually
plan to cut from their budget should such a drastic curtailment of
funding become law.

This pertains to restoration of money to the Secretary of State to
ensure
that WTBBL Services are preserved.

Good morning everyone:

The following is action we need all of you to take concerning our
Talking
Book and Braille Library.

Over the past 24 hours it has come to our attention that in the House
budget

that came out on Tuesday, the Secretary of State's Office took an $11
million
budget cut in state funds, which amounts to about 30% to 40% of their
total
budget.  This cut to their budget could have the potential of severely
impacting
the Washington State Library and the Washington Talking Book and Braille
Library.

Please take a little time today to call the legislative hotline at (800)
562-6000 and leave a message for your Senator and Representatives to
please
restore funding to the Secretary of State's Office to ensure that
library
services are preserved, to include the services of the Washington
Talking
Book
and Braille Library.

Continue to watch the WCB list and our 800 line for budget updates
impacting

DSB and the Washington state School for the Blind.

Denise
