In Alabama a person is supposed to pay a fee (guessing in the area of $50) so that they can help a blind person out making maybe $7.00 an hour? That is a nice barier to having to pay the minimal rates they do. Readers never get compensation that is worthy. I think you should speak with your state legislator about why he wants to deny you services. Then get as many other people you can to call asking the same question. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.
