It now costs to be blind in Massachusetts. The state’s approximately 35,000 blind and legally blind residents must now pay $10 annually for a certificate of blindness and $15 every four years for a blind identification card. Without the formerly-free documents, blind people cannot take advantage of tax abatements, affordable housing programs, health care services, transportation discounts and other benefits. … The fees originated in February, in Gov. Mitt Romney’s budget proposal for fiscal 2004.

Shaun Sutner, “Advocates Fight Fees For The Blind,” Telegram & Gazette, 8/5/03

Apparently he also proposed a fee for the “mentally retarded” but the state legislature rejected that bit.
