[nfbmi-talk] note the spin over substance here

[joe harcz Comcast]

Note the promotion of the so-called "new college policy" in the attached press release. But, also note the ommission in this release of the closed session that will be held relative to the Hill, v. Michigan Commission for the Blind case. Yes, that is the case where employees in a certain BEP vending location were sexually harrassed and then fired in retaliation for reporting it to MCB higher ups like Constance Zanger. This is a gross cover up like so many abuses of this scofflaw and renegade agency under the retaliatory eye of one, Pat Cannon.

The abuse has been institionalized in this agency. And all they have are Nazi-like spin on events to try to "sanitize" the abuses in the public record.

The rancid behaviors of MCB are monstrous beyond belief.
