Re: Request All Information Relative to MCB Meeting

Dear All,

 

I am requesting all information relative to the upcoming Michigan Commission for the Blind  meeting (June 15, 2012) that is now or will be in the hands of the MCB Commissioners. In addition I am requesting all correspondences related to EO 2012-2 and 2012-6 as they pertain to MCB’s State Plan, and all information written to date relative to the State Plan. This is not a FOIA request for as you all know by now all documents related to MCB’s quarterly meetings and its State Plan are required to be fully accessible to the public in accordance with both Title I and Section 504 of the very Rehabilitation Act of 1973 that created and funds MCB to begin with. Moreover, the Americans with disabilities Act of 1990 requires effective communications with those of us who are blind and under Tyler v. Manhattan this responsibility is an affirmative one on the agency’s part. This is the Commission for the Blind after all.

 

Please simply send all requested documents to my e-mail address listed above ASAP and also please ensure me they all will be made available in a variety of formats including Braille at the aforementioned meeting.

 

Failure to respond in a timely manner is a violation of both the Rehabilitation Act and the ADA.

 

Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Paul “Joe” Harcz, Jr.
