Dear Mr. Cannon,

 

 

 

I am writing today to have you breakdown and itemize the Michigan Commission for the Blind expenditures (portions thereof) that can be found at:

I also am writing for any records related to just whom at MCB authorized each and every expenditure with New Horizons.

Since the books have  been closed for months now for Fiscal Year 2011 it shouldn’t be difficult for you and the agency to document these expenditures.

 

Regardless, I am requesting all information related to these expenditures with New Horizons during Fiscal Year 2011 are remitted to me in accessible format and in a timely manner pursuant to obligations under the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as I am blind.

Send requested information as Word documents and/or plain text enclosures to my e-mail address listed above.

 

Note a failure to respond to this request is a violation of the ADA and 504 in and of itself.

 

Warmest Regards,

 

Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
