Blind Man Defends Opposition to Maryland Vending Bill
A visually impaired man from Anne Arundel County argues against a bill granting the Maryland Workshop for the Blind exclusive rights to license blind operators of vending stands in public buildings. Kenneth Merrill says the measure would erode independence and make blind concessionaires employees of the workshop, noting earnings around 20 to 30 dollars weekly for self employed operators versus 15 dollars for workshop stands. Delegate Charles M. Lee supports the bill, while Merrill cites a broader push against limiting opportunities for blind workers.
