[nfbmi-talk] Lions Club dedicates plum tree in honor ofInternational Year of the Tree

[joe harcz Comcast]

For everyone's information ...

It is nice to have a tree marked with raised character and Braille signage 
which is wheelchair accessible.

However each and every building utilized by MCB with the possible exception 
now after much consternation of the MCB TC itself violates the ADA 
requirements for raised character and Braille signage on every permanent 
room throughout the facility.

That includes the State Library, the Victor Office building, the Grand 
Rapids office, the UP office, the flint office and the UP office.

These are facts, documented facts and these are years of fundamental and 
intentional acts of discrimination in violation of our civil rights by MCB 
and, indeed the entire State of Michigan.'
