Wink....And say how about that accessible currency thingee? Sad smileIreally hate it when we win and yetlose for a decade later I still cannot independently discern one bill from another without using accommodations that I have to supply, not the government, like my I-phone money reader.

We are all children of a lessor civil rights law.

They didn't even go this far with the next city from my township, the City
of Burton Michigan which still violates the very civic access settlement in

2006. Ditto for Flint Michigan and dditto for Detroit Transit. In fact the
Richard Bernstein actual court ruling from 2006 is not implemented in
Detroit to this very day.

Doesn't anyone enforce the ADA and enforce even the court decrees? Hasn't
anyone in DOJ heard of contempt of court or a writ of mandemus?

Of course they haven't done a damn thing about my and others complaints
about being denied access to our very own, publicly funded 25th ADA
Anniversary on the State lawn of the Capitol last year in which I was
arrested for protesting the fact the ADA is violated daily here in Michigan

as it was that day.

Man, oh man I feel like I'm living in a Kafka novel.
Jesus H Christ the ADA is now 26 years old and Section 504 is now 43 years
old and I'm still waiting ffor my and our civil rights!
And when I see DOJ drawing just another line in the sand with no rreal
penalties especially against the public sector it just makes me so sick to
my stomache I cannot stand the injustice. I want to puke.

Consent Decree with Humboldt County, California


3 and a half years??? Hummm, I guess that's "reasonable" since, by
then, the ADA will be almost 30 years old! ...
