Congressman Charlie Wilson visited Athens, Ohio on August 11th. During
the visit, Rep. Wilson toured Diagnostic Hybrids International, ATCO and
Passion Works Studio to see how his support of the Enhanced Federal
Medicaid Assistance (EFMAP) was helping to keep people with disabilities
employed in the community. Rep. Wilson also met with consumer self
advocates representing the Southeast Ohio Council Center for Public
Policy (SEOCCPP) and the Personnel Plus Advocacy and Advisory Council
(PPAAC). During the meeting, the advocates presented him with a
certificate of appreciation for his cosponsorship of the Elizabeth
Connelly Act (HR 4544, a federal bill to remove reference to mental
retardation from the federal code) and his vote for the 6 month of
EFMAP. |
