Whereas the Governor’s Office for the Coordination of Services to the Handicapped directed by Richard Dunne,
has created a special task force of agency representatives and consumers to review the problems of services to the blind pointed out by the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland and;
whereas an exhaustive survey of data on services to the blind provided by all state agencies has been completed and;
whereas written comments and responses to this survey have been submitted to Mr. Dunne's office by all members of this task force and several consumers and;
whereas Dr. Dunne has yet to offer his final recommendations for solutions to these problems to the Governor only recently indicating to us his desire to have all materials reviewed by an independent agency and;
whereas Hr. Dunne has apparently made little effort to
final recommendations to the Governor by September 1979, as promised and;
be it further resolved that this organization call upon Hr. Dunne to continuously maintain communications with us through the chairman of our legislative committee and;
be it further resolved that this organization pledge its support to work cooperatively with the Governor of Maryland and his appointees in all matters pertaining to the blind of Maryland.
