Dear Joe,TYou're right, but even SSDI benefits don't pay enough to really live, and I believe, given the right opportunities and training, many more blind people would want to work and contribute to the economy and live better.

Yes, and they are more than likely not hiring right now. But It would benice to see enough jobs out there that it might benefit the blind community.I was thinking of the bigger population which is the people that is seeing and don't have handicaps. We are such a small part of the economy I don't know that our unemployment would make a big difference. sign, Joe Plummer (JP) joeplummer@xxxxxxx -----Original Message-----From: tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On BehalfOf Darla J.

Deloite seems to have a fairly large workforce here but don't know if any blind or visually impaired people have been employed by them.

But I would think this list could do this. I would say if the list talked about it not to say anything about one party or the other but to keep it on the track of what the legislature does that would affect the Tallahassee area and surrounding counties from economy wise and Jobs wise and the effect it will have on local government and jobs and the economy and the effect it would have on the blind community, and local business ! but only if the list could do this in a civic manner! Any other thing would be have to be taken off list. Just some thoughts.
