[nagdu] NYC taxi success

[Marion Gwizdala]

Tracy,
    Are you aware of the recent federal court decision involving the NY taxi 
commission? Though it applies specifically to wheelchair accessible 
taxicabs, it has implications for all forms of discrimination. The synopsis 
is that the Court ruled that the NY taxi commission is directly responsible 
for ensuring that taxicabs are accessible. An article concerning this 
decision is attached to this message.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
