Dear Ms. Haynes, et al,

I did not make my request visa vis the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, but rather under the very Rehabilitation act of 1973 as amended (which pays your paycheck by the by) and the Americans with disabilities act of 1990.

Precisely these "by-law" changes were made pursuant to a variety of applicable state and federal laws and are a part of the minutes all of which have been and are being violated by this action, or in action.

In case you did not realize this fact the Michigan commission for the blind as a constituted board in accordance with both applicable state and federal laws is in effect your "boss". and in fact I as a taxpaying citizen of the United States of America and the State of Michigan is in fact "your boss" in spite of the fact that I'm blind.

Now, Ms. Haynes I know that it is not you doing these things but rather that you are acting under pressure of your scofflaw bosses including director cannon in forestalling and using administrative and other criterion in order to circumvent federal civil rights laws, which trump Cannon and others in LARA.

Regardless, this goes to an immediate request, without surcharge and further forestalling for the documents requested and this goes as a civil rights complaint to O
CR, the United States Department of Justice and as documentation of violations of civil rights.

Sincerely,

Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
