So let me see if I understand this correctly. 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.
