[nfbmi-talk] Fw: ada 504 oma foia request for information

[joe harcz Comcast]

Dear Ms. Malloy,

I have not had a response to this inquiry. That in and of itself is a violation of the ADA and Section 504.

Please remit the requested information in accessable format to this advocate who is blind.

Sincerely,

Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.

Re: request for MRC information

Dear Ms. Malloy,

 

I am an advocate who happens to be blind. I note that fact for I am about to make a request for certain public information and I will invoke the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as well as appropriate state law.

 

Today I am requesting the complete June 3, 2011 MRC minutes. I am also requesting any written reports and corollary information related to a possible consolidation of the Michigan Commission for the Blind with the Michigan Rehabilitation Services.

 

Of course as a blind person I cannot read these print documents and thus am requesting them pursuant to the effective communications requirements of the ADA, Title II subpart e and the auxiliary aids and services requirements of Section 504.

 

My only request for accommodation in these regards is to receive them as either a Word attachment or a plain text enclosure to my e-mail address listed above, for you see simply my computer talks.

 

Any written questions may also be made via conventional e-mail as well.

 

I thank you in advance for your prompt, compliant and timely response to this request,

 

Sincerely,

 

Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
