Precisely what is the “message” Mr. Cannon wished and apparently re-called somehow?

 

This was a most public correspondence about most public actions and we the public have the right to know including we who are blind in a timely manner and effective format. Since this was sent out on Cannon’s own state owned computer it is subject to FOIA and since it was digital in the first instance (my most effective format) I am requesting this now. Not yesterday and not with stalling, and not with an abuse of the ADA’s or 504’s “undue hardship” provisions for there are clearly no hardships of this multi-million, federally funded agency at play here folks!

 

In addition as it is clear that there will be and are changes to the Executive Order 2012—2 involved here I wish to know precisely what the contents of the new Executive Order will be so that I, a citizen of this state and this Republic can decide for himself if they are in accordance with applicable state and federal laws..

 

Oh if you want to stall around this issue then think of the damages re: Detroit Free Press v. City of Detroit amongst others.

 

In other words as an editorial comment I am sick to death personally of all the government secrecy going on in this state and it doesn’t go just to this issue, but regardless is germane to it nonetheless.

 

In this case we have substantial violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended, the Michigan Open Meetings Act, the Michigan Freedom of Information Act and Public Act 260 going on like they are violations on steroids.

 

This must end. It must end now.

 

I am willing, able and will sue if need be for it all to end too!

 

So give this information up!

 

It is time for secret government in Michigan and secrecy relative to federally funded programs for the blind and others with other disabilities to end as well.

 

 

It is as simple as that!

Sincerely,

 

Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
