Joe,
I'm not seeing anything referring to November or October on the page you 
sent to the list. You sent
http://apps.michigan.gov/MiTransparency/Category
Which category did you click on?
If we want to make positive change for the state of Michigan's budget 
website, we need to be specific. Which specific files, including links, 
aren't accessible?
I'm not trying to argue with you, every document on the state of 
Michigan's website should be accessible using screen-reading software. 
However myself, and I'm sure others on this list, would like examples of 
which documents are inaccessible.
Thank you.

Best regards,
Matt
