Guest guest Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 One of the better replies I received. ----- Forwarded Message ----- To: Cheryl Fox Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 11:33 AM Subject: RE: PLEASE OPPOSE SB1516! Dear Cheryl, Thanks very much for writing me regarding Senate Bill 1516, sponsored by Senator Joe Negron (R-Palm City). It means a great deal to me that you took time to write and share your thoughts on this legislation, which would make significant changes within Florida law related to the Agency for Persons with Disabilities. As you may know, Senate Bill 1516 passed through the Senate Committee on Children, Families and Elder Affairs on January 25, 2012. It is now currently waiting to be heard in the Senate Committee on Health Regulation. If this bill is presented, I will certainly keep your views in mind. Again, thanks for writing. Your comments, concerns, criticisms and observations make me a better senator. Respectfully, Senator Don Gaetz From: Cheryl Fox [otnsu@...] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 6:43 AM To: GAETZ.DON.WEB Subject: PLEASE OPPOSE SB1516! Dear Senator Gaetz, Please oppose SB 1516 and these very draconian changes at APD. It will set this state, and our efforts to assist the developmentally disabled, back 50 years! Cheryl Fox otnsu@...
