>>
>>
>> Dear Ms. Haynes,
>>
>>
>>
>> I am writing you today to request via and pursuant to the rights and
>> obligations of the Michigan Freedom of information Act and concurrent
>> obligations under the Americans with disabilities Act and the 
>> rehabilitation
>> act of 1973 the complete personnel file of Mr. Patrick D. Cannon, 
>> Director
>> of the Michigan commission for the Blind(except for legally redacted
>> information materials like social Security Number for example) , along 
>> with
>> all salary and compensation for all State of Michigan activities and
>> purposes of employment therein since he assumed office or directorship of
>> MCB and any other State of Michigan employment considerations including 
>> his
>> role as State of Michigan Americans with Disabilities act coordinator.
>>
>>
>>
>> I am requesting specifically and at a minimum the following information:
>>
>> -academic credentials
>>
>> -pay and other compensation schedules over years
>>
>> -any and all evaluations including those by the Michigan Commission for 
>> the
>> Blind (board)
>>
>> -all closed session minutes and records of the above listed item (re:
>> bradlee v. Saranac Community Schools)
>>
>> -all disciplinary records
>>
>> (Again ref Bradlee and subsequent case law)
>>
>> -all actions in courts of law, Civil Service Commission, or other
>> administrative bodies, or quasi-judicial or judicial or judicial in 
>> nature
>> in his personnel file
>>
>> Again this request includes all public domain, and all adjudications 
>> public
>> or private against him in his official capacity in courts of law or other
>> quasi-legal or administrative jurisdictions
>>
>> -any criminal cases or legal considerations against him
>>
>> -any cases in which he testified or was subpoenaed or gave any legal and
>> binding deposition under law in which perjury might be a consideration
>>
>> -any signed document to which he affixed his hand in official capacity
>> related to the administration of federal funds and assurances with the
>> United States Government relative to same in his official capacity 
>> including
>> contracts, or contracts  per se between the state of Michigan and the 
>> United
>> States government including, but not exclusive of: the United States of
>> America, Departments of Education, Dept. of Labor, Dept. of  Justice, or 
>> any
>> other "third party pass through agreements" including all those of which
>> Patrick D. Cannon affixed his hand regarding memorandums of understanding
>> with various state of Michigan entities over his term as Director.
>>
>>
>>
>> In other words, lest this is an exercise in futility I wish for any 
>> document
>> signed by Patrick D. Cannon in his official capacity as Director of 
>> Michigan
>> Commission for the Blind since his sworn and most accomplished role as 
>> MCB
>> Director.
>>
>>
>>
>> Moreover, I am now also officially requesting any documents by Ms. Jo 
>> Anne
>> Pilarski, since she assumed the position of MCB commissioner and Chair of
>> MCB, in her official capacity as same.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> /Again, I wish for each and every requested document in accessible 
>> format.
>> Finally I, as a person who is documented  as  legally blind am requesting
>> that any and all, except for purely redacted, exempt information under
>> either the federal FOIA and the Michigan FOIA request pursuant to 
>> concurrent
>> obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (Title II, subpart 
>> e,
>> effective communications) and the relevant portions of the Rehabilitation
>> Act of 1973 ("auxiliary aid and services"" request with no "surcharge" 
>> for
>> such accommodations that such remissions are made in a timely and 
>> accessible
>> manner (re: Tyler v. Manhattan to name one case cite)).
>>
>>
>>
>> To wit: I ask for all the requested information within 30 days in the 
>> format
>> most accessible to me without charge for the accommodation. That format 
>> is
>> to make the documents available to me as either Word or plain text
>> attachments, or enclosures to my E-mail address listed above.
>>
>>
>>
>> Reasonable redactions to the original request may be made as does the 
>> U.S.
>> Dept. of Justice or other entities in these regards by simply xxxx out 
>> the
>> redacted information. In other words I don't wish for Patrick D. Canon's
>> social security number for example. And it can and should be easily 
>> redacted
>> without making a federal or state case over other required information.
>>
>>
>>
>> Any stalling or other violations of this request over quibbles will be
>> attended to with all legal vigor and with the full force of law.
>>
>>
>>
>> I thank you, as I have in the past for your, Carla Hayne's, prompt,
>> courteous and accessible responses to such inquiries.
>>
>>
>>
>> Most sincerely,
