[NAGDU] Creating Strategy

[NAGDU President]

David,

	I think that, with your legal background, we need to work to create
a strategy to resolve these issues. We are facing similar challenges in
Hillsborough, in spite of Andrew Warren's commitment during his campaign and
during his so-called listening tour, to vigorously prosecute these cases. If
we can get him on board, perhaps he can get the rest of our SAOs in line
with us!

Fraternally yours,
Marion

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind  people
and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds
you back.

No, there really isn't any data.  I had one incident where an Uber driver
refused me and the sheriff's office told me that the state attorney said it
was a 'civil rights' law and they don't enforce them, because it is a civil
matter, despite the fact that the law says it is a misdemeanor.  Uber would
not cooperate at the time and provide a driver name, so that I could file a
criminal complaint myself.  Without the state, however, it would have gone
nowhere.
