Hello Carson,
Thank You for your critical Clarification - That certainly makes a
tremendous Difference. Why that is not noted or specified in the BDN Report is
interesting. Now, I wonder if the same Report is in any other Maine daily
Newspapers or their Websites ? Sometimes, 2 or 3 Papers covering the same Story
will have different versions - Each Paper will have a different perspective -
Which one is the Correct Report ??????
Media Accuracy these days - especially in a case like this one, is like
rolling Dice or flipping a Quarter in the air.
Thank You CarsonDennis

Falmouth woman with service dog — Politics — Bangor Daily News — BDN Maine
Hello, The forwarded Report is in today's Bangor Daily News' Website.
A Woman from Falmouth, with a standard Poodle Service Dog accompanying her , as
she is Blind, had taken the S/D to Portland for a Manicure - in January 2017.
She does not state how she was transported to Portland. She called for a
Uber as transportation back home to Falmouth, but when the Uber Driver saw the
Service Dog - he refused to bring her and the dog back home - " No Dogs. "
You can read the Report for yourself - Very Interesting that some people here
in Maine with physical disabilities are still encountering Discrimination Years
after the ADA became Law. Dennis Marrotte -----Original Message-----
