Dear Governor Cuomo:

On behalf of the New York State Independent Living Council, Inc. (NYSILC) we are writing to voice our strong support for the National Governor’s Association (NGA) Chair’s Initiative related to “A Better Bottom Line: Employing People with Disabilities Blueprint for Governors” and to ask for your commitment to make this a priority in your upcoming State-of-the-State address, followed by its implementation in subsequent years to improve upon the employability of New Yorkers with disabilities.
