Re: MCB New Horizons Expenditures to Date

 

To: Patrick D. Cannon, Director Michigan Commission for the Blind

(via e-mail)

 

Dear Mr. Cannon,

 

I am writing today to receive documents related to all MCB expenditures referenced in the Department of Management and Budget relative to New Horizons (see information after signature line). Clearly these expenditures are from MCB and Michigan Rehabilitation Services. So just send me the information related to MCB.

 

This must be responded to in a timely and accessible manner and I invoke not the FOIA here but the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Titles I and V) as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act in this regards. These documents related to numerous MCB public hearings in which these issues were discussed and thus apply to accessible meeting information required without muss, fuss or expense under the Rehabilitation Act.

 

Besides as one who is savvy as you are in your position of authority you should have no problems accounting for all of MCB’s expenditures. I mean it is in your job description after all.

 

So just send me requested information as either/or Word attachments or plain text enclosures.

 

Failure to respond is actionable. Abuse of the “undue hardship or administrative burdens” is also a violation given the size and scope of MCB and its parent and the copious millions in federal funding.

 

By the way have you figured out where all the federally funded BEP equipment is yet?

 

Anyway, thanks as always for your prompt and accessible response.

 

Sincerely,

 

Paul Joseph Harcz, Jr.
