I'm writing to you all for your help. The Massachusetts operates a
program called the radio reading service. If you ever went by wdjm 91.3 on
the dile and heard the reading of newspapers and books or programs providing
information to persons blind and vicua visually impaired, that's the radio
reading service. The network operates out of Marshfield and I direct the
local afiliate out of Framingham State College the Disability services
office. The service reads daily newspapers such as "The Tab" The Metrowest
Daily News, The Natickk Bulletin and other local newspapers including The
Boston Globe, the Boston Herald, and magazines such as Newsweek, Time Ect.
The service is run at a lowcost. We observed our 25 annaversiry on June
119, 2003 For ten year the lineitem 4110-1000 was funded at 200-000 dollars
and three years ago, the line item was raised to 500-000 where it stayed for
three years. This past week, the governor vetoed 250-000 dollars oub of its
budget, in adition, 35-000 dollars to support the infrastructure which is
telephone lines konly installed this past year because the sap secondary
alternate channel which was channel 44 had tas to be used for audio
desecription for the blind. The MetroWest RAdio Reading Service only
receives five thousand dollars from that ammount or from the total budget.
Please contact the house of representatives, kour legislators and ask
to please over ride the veto of line 4110-1000 for Radio Reading Service.
And incidentally, if you know of any persons withprint disabilities please
contact our ofice at 508-626-4000 and we can providde them with a receiver.
This is an invaluable service, being blind myself I am not only a director
of a radio reading service, but I'm a client
