Note the following from Sue Luzenski with nothing but pr spin. Please all go to
the web site referenced and though accessible try to find any meaninful
information about resources. This is incredible.
And I'm in the "hot zone" and I can't get any information and I have been
arrested for amonst other things arrogently asking for state agencies to be
totally accessible and compliant with the ADA which they are not!
Sorry folks I'm angry, tired and crying as I write this. It isn't an abstract
issue for debate.
And again I'm being bled by the state for acting up and protesting at our state
Capitol.
I'm burned and I'm abused. I'm bent over and have been spankedseveral times.
It continues!
I'm sick to death of the legal process where there is nothing to do with
justice and it is all about process here in America!
I'm angry! True! I'm depressed! True! I'm vilified and all sorts of things in
the spin control universe. And I'm only one angry, put upon blind guy who has
the utter audacity to stand up and say" Let us in!".
And that my colleagues has been "criminalized" here in Michigan.
Let us in ....Let us in... Let us in...
Hi Joe,
Your message below was forwarded to me so I could follow up with your reference
to the two people in Flint who are BSBP clients that have not been contacted
by the agency.
Would you please send me their contact information so that I can ensure they
have been reached out to and received all necessary information regarding the
Flint water crises? It would be very helpful.
Also, if you are in contact with anyone that is seeking information online here
is a link that can be forwarded to them that is dedicated to the Flint Water
Crises:
http://www.michigan.gov/flintwater.
Thank you for your assistance in this Joe, I really appreciate it.

Dear Mr. Rodgers,
After my signature line I note the first addition to BSBP's web site related to
the blind and the Flint water crisis. It was only put out when and after
I made requests for information that are still not responded to to this date.
Moreover, I just talked with two people who are blind in Flint who haven't
had so much as a call or a knock on the door from any State of Michigan agency
let alone BSBP.
Moreover, this is a county wide issue and impacts all people who are blind who
have drank that poisoned water in Flint, or had other contact with it including
me and including students who are blind in the Flint school system of which we
know of many.
Moreover as you've been informed information in a variety of alternate formats
is supposed to be produced affirmatively by your lead agency for the blind.
Yet that isn't ever done and it isn't even done upon request as I've documented
over years.
Joe Harcz
