[Jayhawk-chapter] More Info on Tina Bruce Employment Discrimination Court Trial

[Rob Tabor]

Hi, Bren,

 

If you are still willing to drive that would be awesome! Your being a member is of the chapter an added plus. If you have room and Luther is willing to come along, this trial would certainly seem to provide a stimulating learning experience for him.

 

As for publicity, that is Donna and Tom’s call. I have heard of a reporter for the Topeka Capitol Journal who would be very good if he were assigned or voluntarily were willing to cover the story. I’ll definitely ask Donna how she is handling publicity. They say there’s no such thing as bad publicity, and it would seem we could get good pub out of this one. My only caution is we might unwittingly create a perception that lawsuits are all we do, or that they are the main activity, which they of course are not.

 

In any event, I’ll be in touch later today with those who are going to advise you of the schedule for Monday and Wednesday.

 

Best regards,

Rob

Hi All,

I am available to drive monday and wednesday if a driver is still needed. My toyota can carry 4 passengers. This sounds like an important case, has there been any publicity that you know of?

Good evening all,

 

I spoke with Donna today. First, the state affiliate will help to pay for a driver at the rate of 43 cents per mile, whether we hire a driver or if one takes a bus to Topeka. The trial is expected to run most of the week, but there will be no reimbursement for overnight lodging in Topeka. To that end, I have contacted and been refused by a potential driver, so I am still looking for a driver. So far 3 individuals including myself have expressed interst in attending.

 

Secondly, Donna said she would especially like NFB Kansas to show a visible presence on Monday and Wednesday; Monday being the opening of the trial and Wednesday being the day Donna is scheduled to testify as an expert witness.

 

Please be sure to let me know by tomorrow if you would like to attend with transportation via carpool by tomorrow night at the latest so I can be sure to have enough room for those who want to attend.

 

Best regards,

Rob
