[Cinci-nfb] Question from a wheelchair

[tollebooth]

I am praying for you. Madame president I have a question. It appears as part of a potential legal settlement that I need to find a worthy cause to which to donate approximately $25,000.  This is a legal case involving discrimination on the basis of violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act pertaining to accommodations for a blind employee.

The employer is someone you would know very very well. In fact, I venture to say that anyone who lives in the Cincinnati area would know this employer
