[Nfbmd] request for information about separate but not equal computer interfaces

[Debbie Brown]

The Montgomery County website is an example of this text-only ghetto 
problem.  It has a "text only" link from the main page.  It is difficult to 
predict on any given day which links you will be able to reach using the 
text only version of the site.  If you do get to a link, you will very 
likely find that a linked document is inaccessible PDF.  In order to get an 
accessible copy of the budget last year, in which the county was cutting 
services of interest to blind people such as library service, I had to 
contact a councilmember's office.  This should not be necessary.
