[Job-Discussions] FW: Issues regarding accessibility

[Jordan Gallacher]

It has been put in e-mail to me for the past over seven years at this point
as well,and nothing so far.  This is why I for the most part steer clear of
NIB and there affiliated agencies.

I don't know what all the issues are or have been, but Billy has been
talking with Dick about this. Maybe things will be different. Actions will
prove that, and so far, things don't look promising. But let's see if they
follow through this time. Considering it's been put in writing by him in
email, it'll look worse than ever if he doesn't.
Just my thoughts.
